Made using the finest pigments from natural raw materials, Lutea Extra Fine Natural Watercolours offer vibrant and high quality dyes and achieve superb lightfastness. The Lutea Watercolour range is an amazing opportunity to rediscover rare and beautiful organic colours made with plants from around the world.

Conceived by the visionary and sustainable Belgian brand Lutea, renowned for their research and development of organic colours, the pigments in Lutea's range of 12 Watercolours 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 colours offer the possibility to create mixtures which cannot be achieved with synthetic colours. Lutea : Extra Fine Natural Watercolour 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 watercolour paints are compatible with synthetic and mineral watercolours.

The Lutea Extra Fine Natural Watercolour range has a lightfastness rating of Good to Very Good (5-6) as certified by French laboratory Green'ing. The full range of 12 colours 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 watercolour).
