THE NATURE’S GRAFFITI COLLECTION

Nature's Graffiti is an invitation to immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and emotions. It is an exploration of the uncharted territories within the realm of abstract wild botanicals & the beauty of the land, where the brush becomes a storyteller, and every stroke whispers tales of wanderlust and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

My hope is that when you PLAY with #tracibautistaCOLOR products and this collection, it evokes a sense of freedom, exploration, and adventure. Go EXPLORE & PLAY...

ABOUT THE PAINT: Each collection is one-of-a-kind. There are handmade in very small batches with limited quantities and they tend to sell out.

The colors create a number of textured effects depending on the substrate, type of paper and the amount of water used when they are applied. The magic unfolds as the colors dry and the pigments start to separate. Some colors have a luster when light gently hits the surface and some have a slightly gritty texture.

NOTE: the photos are ONLY samples of watercolors. Due to the unique handcrafted manufacturing process of this product, the color swatches in the photos may be different due to your monitor or device. Colors are created in small batches which results in each set being slightly different from the next batch.

ABOUT THE PIGMENT BARS: They have an oil pastel consistency and can be mixed with linseed, walnut oil, or Chelsea Classical Lavender Spike oil and painted in thin layers using a brush.

The pigment bars are can be used as a resist with watercolors and inks or used as a mark making tool over the dry paint.

It’s recommended to wear gloves when painting with pigment bars. Keep paper towels handy to wipe off excess paint.

The pigment bars can be sealed with Spectafix fixative or Golden Matte Medium Apply 2-5 coats, one layer at a time letting it dry, then repeat.
