Lutea: Organic Color Made With Noble Plant Materials

Developed by Belgian artisan Anne-Sylvie Godeau, Lutea specializes in creating natural pigments and watercolor paints derived from plant-based sources.

Founded with a commitment to sustainability and ecological responsibility, Lutea explores the ancient art of botanical dyeing to produce colors that are environmentally friendly and artistically unique.

Each Lutea Pigment is carefully extracted from plants, flowers, roots, and other natural materials, resulting in a palette of colors that reflect the subtle and complex beauty of the natural world.

Lutea Watercolors are crafted in small batches, ensuring that each paint maintains the highest level of quality and consistency. The paints are formulated with gum arabic and honey, providing a smooth application and excellent transparency.

Artists are drawn to Lutea’s colors for their delicate hues and the organic variations that occur with natural pigments. This offers a distinct aesthetic that is different from synthetic paints. This unique characteristic allows artists to explore a softer, more harmonious color palette in their work.

By focusing on sustainability and traditional dyeing methods, Lutea offers artists a way to connect with nature through their materials. Their dedication to ecological practices makes Lutea a popular choice for artists who value quality materials with a positive environmental impact.
