Info
Made using the finest pigments from natural raw materials, Lutea : Extra Fine Natural Watercolor Paint paints offer vibrant and high quality dyes and achieve superb lightfastness. The Lutea Watercolor range is an amazing opportunity to rediscover rare and beautiful organic colors made with plants from around the world.
Conceived by the visionary and sustainable Belgian brand Lutea, renowned for their research and development of organic colors, the pigments in Lutea's range of 12 Watercolors are extracted from plants grown under the care and expertise of artisan Anne-Sylvie Godeau. The grounded pigments are then meticulously incorporated with the highest quality binding agents, guided by Isabelle Roelof's research.
The 12 unique colors offer the possibility to create mixtures which cannot be achieved with synthetic colors. Lutea : Extra Fine Natural Watercolor Paints must be kept at room temperature. For those looking to achieve a significant pigment spread, we recommend adding ox gall to your water when painting. These watercolor paints are compatible with synthetic and mineral watercolors.
The Lutea : Extra Fine Natural Watercolor Paints range has a lightfastness rating of Good to Very Good (5-6) as certified by French laboratory Green'ing. The full range of 12 colors includes natural raw materials sourced from cultivated plants, gleaned plants, recycled plants, international plants, and one insect (click on the PDF to view the full list for each watercolor).

Awful!
I really wanted to like these paints and spent a small fortune on the set of 12. First i had to send some back as the paint was so solid in the tube that it came out like crumbs or it ran out like a sticky glue. I've finally got around to trying the replacements and to decanting some from the tube into my travel half pans set. Basically i cant seem to activate them in the pan at all and when i eventually can loosen any colour its so pale its almost invisible. The only 2 colours from the set that seem to work are the Carmine and the Indigo but the others seem to be a waste of time either from the tube (crumbly or almost pure gluey gum arabic) or dont activate from the pan. Once on paper they seem to dry very rough and sandpaper-ish. Feel disappointed and wish i'd just got a refund from the start but you dont know until you open them and try them that its a dud. Shame as i had high hopes for them in my attempts to use natural art supplies.
