Maya Violet. Half pan, full pan or bottle cap of handmade watercolor paint

Maya Violet

Maya colors are unique in the world of pigments. Inspired by ancient paint formulas found in Mayan ruins, Maya colors are made with a plant dye precipitated on to a clay base. This unique formula means Maya Violet has unique handling characteristics. The pigment particles tend to stay where they are put, rather than flowing with the water. This color is a cool, transparent violet, wonderful for layering and glazing techniques. 

Bottle caps are equivalent in amount of paint to a generous full pan. 

A small magnet can be added to the pan or cap, at no cost, to allow it to stick to any metal tin, if the artist prefers. If you'd like magnets added to your pans, please indicate that in the Notes section at check out.
