Essee (Earth & Essence) watercolours are handmade, artisan paints crafted with natural earth pigments, organic gum arabic, honey, glycerin, and clove oil as a preservative.  Essee work with a restoration organization in Europe that specializes in sourcing certified pigments in Africa, South America, Asia and India. Paints rewet easily, feeling smooth, buttery, and creamy on the brush. Many of the earth and mineral tones exhibit gorgeous, unique granulation and pigment separation when water is added.
