The foundation of The Stoneground Paint Co. was laid by Cruz Anderson. Anderson learned the foundations of paint making and traditional knowledge from Dr. David Cranswick while studying in London, England. Continuing to study and research on his own, Anderson shared his knowledge with Kathleen Avram, Eric Rowe, Brittany Perry, and Jenny Rowe, while working to perfect the proportions and processes used in the creation of Stoneground’s handmade paints.
One of the many advantages of Stoneground Watercolours is that they are made from single pigments. You can achieve the most brilliant colours with single pigment paints, because they do not include multiple pigments. Additionally, locally sourced organic honey is used as part of the binder recipe. The advantage of the honey is that it provides a beautiful, smooth consistency to the watercolour.
