Lagoon is a matte handmade watercolor that is a lovely turquoise that leans green. I mull small batches on a glass slab using a tried-and-true handmade watercolor binder formula (distilled water, gum arabic, glycerin, local honey, clove essential oil) which has been used throughout the ages to make watercolor paint. Although I try my absolute hardest to use techniques that avoid bubbles and cracks, you may still come across them; neither of these will impact their quality or usability. The climate can also impact whether or not the pans become sticky or cracked (glycerin and honey are natural humectants, meaning they draw in moisture from the air around them). If you live in a humid environment, it’s possible your pans may have a slight tack to them. If you have difficulty unwrapping your pans, pop them in the freezer for about 10 minutes, and then you should be able to remove the wrapping easier. For best use, pre-wet your watercolor with a drop or two of water, wait around a minute, and then swirl the paint into your brush. Make sure to let your watercolor pans dry completely before storing them. Do NOT ingest or use it to paint your skin. The pans are small and should be kept away from children and pets. Colors may differ from real life due to monitor settings.
