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. This custom colour is a dull blue-green useful in a range of applications from illustration work to landscapes, and is invaluable for seascapes, atmospheric skies, and botanicals. Inspired by the cool leaves of blue spruce trees in winter, this muted colour is an excellent choice for any artist’s palette.

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.
