teRra watercolour paint – the colours

The teRra series of paints is comprised of 35 colours, plus white.  Most of them are made with 2 pigments per colour (refer to the swatches for the pigment numbers).  There are 5 shimmer/metallic paints in the collection.

In addition I sometimes create small single pigment “on the go” travel tin sets, you can find information on those (when available) in my shop product catalogue.

The colours

Each colour is made up of 2 pigments, and occasionally 3 pigments where I thought it was necessary to achieve the colour I wanted.  All pigments are of the highest lightfast rating (except fluoro pink).  Each swatch card lists the pigments used.  For more information on the pigments themselves the Handprint website is a great resource if you want to look up each pigment and its properties.  A lot of the colours are granulating and transparent colours. Refer to the detailed information on each colour in the table at the bottom of this page.

Shimmer paints

I have created 5 “shimmer” colours. Due to the metallic nature of the pigments used in Shimmer paints most on the market are NOT lightfast.  I extensively tested these 5 colours over a year in the Australian sun and confirm that they are completely lightfast.

The shimmers include 2 golds, moonbeam which is a pearlescent silver/white colour that has flashes or purple and blue when you move the light against it, mumbo jumbo is a teal green colour and of course wander-lust a gorgeous warm pink that separates and moves as it dries to a lovely golden pink sheen.
