Description
Stoneground Paint Co. Gouache
Stoneground gouache is a water-based paint that dries to an opaque, matte finish. These gouache paints are easily mixed with one another and can also be used together with Stoneground watercolour paint. Cobalt Aquamarine is an intense turquoise blue-green pigment that is helpful when used to adjust the temperature of blues and greens. An excellent mixing compliment, Cobalt Aquamarine is useful in landscape, seascape, and botanical paintings.
Artist Notes: Cobalt Aquamarine’s bright, clear colour makes it invaluable for mixing greens. Also available from Stoneground as a watercolor here.

Modern Colours
Stoneground defines modern colours as those developed and discovered after 1704. This was when the accidental discovery of Prussian Blue occurred. The colours Stoneground classifies as such, contain organic and inorganic pigments and are typically characterized by their intense and bright appearance.
