Pigments Included in the Kit
The kit includes one ounce (29 ml) each of Glauconite, Umber, Hematite, Gold Ochre, Red Ochre, and Shungite (natural carbon black) -- all packaged in individual plastic jars. These pigments represent a basic set of hues used in historical painting before the 19th century.

Purpose of the Watercolor Paint-Making Kit
The Natural Pigments Watercolor Paint-Making Kit is designed for artists who wish to make small amounts of watercolor paint. You will find it useful for making paint on the spot, as you need them. Unlike larger grinding tools, the small size of these tools allows for easy carefree cleanup between use. It's also a great educational tool for instructors to demonstrate how artists' paint was made prior to the 19th century.
