Pewter Lake

A lake pigment that is lightfast and semi-transparent and very smooth to paint with, Pewter Lake is made from a manufactured French mineral pigment that is fixed to a natural calcium carbonate base which gives these specific lake pigments a soft, velvety and matte finish when dry.

All of our watercolors are handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments, plus natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine, distilled water, and a dash of clove oil for freshness!

Half Pans contain around 2ml of paint and are approximately 3/4" x 1/2" x 3/8" deep.

Color Index number as provided by vendor: Natural Calcium Carbonate Base + PBk11.77499.  All of our watercolors conform to ASTM D-4236.
