Natural Mineral Pigment set of 12 (Blue)

One of the most ancient forms of pigments–its use dating back to ancient Egypt–natural mineral Pigments are found naturally in exposed edges of streams, rivers, and lakes. The minerals are collected and powdered to a specific texture, and mixed with a binder (like nikawa) to make a vibrant, long-lasting paint that is often used in traditional Japanese paintings.

The pigment types are differentiated by a number that represents how fine or course the pigment grains are: the higher the number the finer the powder, which more evenly blends into the nikawa gelatin binder. These 12-pigment sets come in type 9, a medium density and grain size.
