Artist quality, handmade paint prepared from a New Zealand pigment. Summit Red is an earth pigment from Bank Peninsula. Hand-ground into powder and then made into paint, the traditional watercolour recipe consists of gum arabic, honey, oil of cloves as a preservative and distilled water. The paint is then placed in watercolour half-pans.

This red is similar to Okains Red, and the muller impressions almost identical! Must be from the same volcanic activity.

It is quite normal for some of these dried watercolour paints to crack in the pan (and the reds are the worst!). This is no way detracts from their use. The beauty of watercolour paint that has dried on the palette is that it can be reused by moistening at any time. (Tip: dried out tubes of watercolour paint can be cut open lengthwise and used in the same way as pan paints.)
