Leaf Season - Dot Card

Leaf Season is a collection of 6 handmade, mica watercolors inspired by the fall colors of native-Maine trees. This listing is for a sample-sized palette/dot card. Each dot is big enough for several uses. Dot cards are perfect if you like trying a lot of different colors, or if you want to test out colors/formulas before investing in larger sizes.

Leaf Season dot cards include:
- Red Maple, a bright reddish pink
- Sassafras, an extra sparkly copper
- Quaking Aspen, a sparkly yellow gold
- White Pine, a forest green with gold shimmer
- Balsam Fir, a deep emerald green
- Bear Oak, a metallic chocolatey brown

DETAILS

Ingredients: Micas, distilled water, gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, and clove leaf oil. The dots come on a 4.5x3 inch piece of cellulose watercolor paper.

Lightfastness: All the pigments used to color the micas in this collection have excellent lightfastness ratings, except for one pigment used in Balsam Fir-- ferric ferrocyanide, or Prussian Blue. Prussian Blue fades when exposed to light as a watercolor paint, but how much and how fast it fades varies depending on many factors. I highly recommend performing a lightfastness test if you need to be certain how this, or any, paint will perform. All the other pigments have excellent lightfastness.

I use black pigment-based inks for stamping/writing on my dot cards. They will not smear if they get wet.

SAFETY

The colors in this collection are nontoxic when used as intended, as artist paints. They are not formulated and have not been tested for any other purpose.
