The birdwatchers among us know the incredible diversity of waterfowl to be found at the North Bay's Bolinas Lagoon—but just as remarkable is the water itself, a marshy expanse of algae and mud that makes our color receptors swoon. Thankfully, we have CfM Lagoon to replicate those lovely greens, blues and yellows in a single watercolor, anytime we like! CfM Ultra-Blends are custom colors with endless possibilities!

Case for Making CfM Climate Change is Real
Our response to September 9th, 2020, when smoke and ash from a devastating fire season hovered above the Bay Area marine layer, blocking out the daylight.

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!

Case for Making Synthetic Indigo
Indigo was one of our first handmade watercolors, a must-have in a palette! This rich synthetic color simulates Genuine Indigo and provides a wide range of tones—at its darkest it appears almost black! Both colors 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.

Add a Mini Matte Gold Travel Brush to the middle row, and get playful with this dynamic starter set! CfM Ultra-Blends are custom colors with endless possibilities!
