Our Paints
Our watercolour paints are made with plant pigments, grown and sourced in Singapore. The paintmaking process is done in our very own studio, from the gathering of raw materials, processing and eventually mulling into watercolour paints.
Custom orders are available in advance.
Our Plant Colours
We choose to make our colours with plants that thrive well in our local climate. Prioritizing locally sourced and regenerative materials, our process celebrates our natural heritage in an ecologically responsible manner. Our paints are made with minimal ingredients and do not use any optical brighteners.
Off-cut
Wood Palettes
Our paint palettes are handmade with off-cut wood sourced from local carpenter studios in Singapore. These pieces are usually made from durable local wood, crafted from the prunings of a variety of species such as the Khaya, Angsana, and Rain tree. Each of our palette has been drilled, sanded and oiled in our studio and uniquely shaped to minimise wastage. No palette is exactly the same!
Paper Palettes
Our paper palettes are created specially for those who wish to experience these paints in small. meaningful ways.
Each set features carefully portioned colours, making them ideal as thoughtful gifts, for hosting painting sessions, or as creative companions for events and workshops.
Palettes may be purchased individually or customized with illustrative postcards for an additional cost.
For customized orders, do connect with us directly.
Digital 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.
