DIY Watercolour, Gouache & Egg Tempera Paint Making Set— Real Lapis Lazuli, Malachite & Jasper Pigments with Complete Step by Step Guide
Make your own watercolour and gouache paints from real stone. This complete gemstone pigment paint-making set brings the oldest tradition in painting to your own desk. Five genuine mineral pigments, an in-house vegan gum arabic binder, and every tool you need to turn raw colour into finished paint. No grinding mill, no chemistry, no guesswork. Unlike most “DIY watercolour kits” that hand you pre-made tube paint, this is the real thing: genuine lapis lazuli, malachite and jasper pigments, extracted and refined in-house at De Mairo. Because we refine them to an ideal particle size before they reach you, there is no grinding required. You mix pigment with binder on the plate, work it with the glass muller, and in minutes you have smooth, professional-grade paint. The same set makes both transparent watercolour and opaque gouache, and the five pigments intermix into a far wider range of shades, from soft greens and warm earths to deep, luminous blues. In the box: five genuine gemstone pigments (30 g each), 70 ml vegan gum arabic, calcium carbonate for gouache, glass muller, ceramic mixing plate, palette knife, watercolour brush, 300 GSM pad, tin with 12 half pans, spray bottle, and two safety masks.
