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. Inspired by the glacial lakes and rivers of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, this turquoise green is an intense hue perfect for a range of subject matter. Glacier Lake is darker than Aurora Green, and can be used to great effect of black or coloured papers.

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.
