Beam Paints Watercolour Paintstones

Colour: Almost Night - Geygaa Naakshek

Paintstones are lightfast pigments, tree sap, and gum Arabic.

These little jewels are also about Beam Paints' values and support their respect for the earth and being plastic free. They are wrapped in St. Armand handmade paper with paper labels identifying the color name and are the Beam Paints answer to half-pans! Free your art kit!

"When I make paint I think about my Dad a lot, he taught me when I was really small to identify hematite and look for paintstones. He kept them in his art bag in a little cloth wrapper, and when he needed paint he brought them out and prepared his paint for ceramic bowls, drums, or rocks. I really wanted something of my paint making practice to share the tactile joy of the physicality of paint, and this is it!"

- Anong Beam

Exciting Vibrant colour that demands a bold playform

I thought I’d struggle a bit with the transparency but it’s there along with bold intense hues that are aptly named. I like the specialness I’m keeping these for greeting cards & special occasions in particular

Beam paints

I have been using Beam Paints ever since I started thinking about having a travel kit for my plein air painting. Beam Paints have a beautiful selection of colours and a creamy consistency that works well on any form of watercolour and multi-media paper. I like that they are a Canadian business, aboriginal owned, operated by women. I recommend you try them, or at least look at their website and Instagram page - the stories the Anong relates are authentic as well as inspiring.
