Our Paints
Our watercolour paints are made with natural pigments, grown and sourced in Singapore. Every step is done by hand in our dedicated studio, from the initial gathering of materials to the treatment, crafting, and final creation of our distinctive paint pods. Custom orders are available in advance.
Origins of the Colours
We choose to make our colours with plants that thrive in our local climate. Prioritizing locally sourced and regenerative materials, our process celebrates our natural heritage in an ecologically responsible manner.
Wood Palettes
Most of our paint palettes are handmade with offcut wood sourced from carpenters in Singapore. Several of these pieces are made from durable local wood, crafted from the prunings of a variety of species such as the Khaya, Angsana, and Rain tree. You can sometimes tell the species from the colour, weight, and even smell of the palette!
Prints
We also produce informational materials about our encounters with plants and pigments.
Open Studio Zine
Our very first zine, Open Studio, brings together our material explorations and experiences from our artist residency at Rimbun Dahan. The title reflects the open-ended nature of the studio space, through the creative adventures related to food, people, plants and an en-lightening incident.
Poster
Singapore Street Colours displays a selection of inks from roadside flora in Singapore, cataloguing some of our experiments with various additives. Sporting a range of diverse, vibrant colours, this poster offers a glimpse into how pigments change with shifts in pH or iron content, demonstrating the interconnection of chemistry and artmaking.
