This rich blue is in a category all its own—its depth and range exceeds any other color we can think of! Compared with Synthetic Indigo , our Genuine Indigo is a bit more textured and deeper in tone. Both are fantastic for layering, glazing, and color mixing (a little bit goes a long way!) and are wonderfully opaque at full saturation. Genuine Indigo is derived from the Indigofera tinctoria plant through a fermentation process, and further refined to achieve greater saturation and intensity.

A cool, deep purple-brown natural earth pigment with high opacity, lightfastness, and a very consistent and smooth texture with a matte finish. At its most opaque, it's just slightly metallic, thanks to its high concentration of hematite. The pigments we use to make these colors are specific to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain range. Natural earth pigments have been mined from this region since the mid-1800's, and we think these colors are still unrivaled in intensity and richness.

Saturday, June 27, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. In this workshop, we’ll paint delicate, light-filled flowers inspired by Hilma af Klint, a pioneering Swedish artist best known for her visionary abstract paintings rooted in nature, spirituality, and symbolism. Decades before abstraction gained widespread recognition, af Klint was creating art that sought to express unseen energies and the deeper patterns of life. Among her lesser-known but equally captivating works are her ethereal flower studies – gentle, glowing compositions that radiate presence and wonder.
