The Naturale 36 contains our complete collection of exquisite earth, mineral and plant based pigments from the Mediterranean basin to the forests of Sumatra, from the mountains of Chile to the volcanos of Iceland. This palette includes our twelve newest natural tones! Many colors in the Naturale Collection are granulating and made from exclusive natural pigments. For bold results, we recommend pre-wetting them with a drop of water or mist with a small spray bottle. Two of the most exclusive colors in the Naturale 3 palette are Yellow Weld, a luminous, historic yellow derived from Reseda luteola (weld), treasured since antiquity for its warm, transparent glow and rare connection to natural color traditions and Han purple, a granulating and regal purple historic pigment first created in ancient China over 2,500 years ago. Five of the colors included in this extensive palette are made with Iwa-Enogu Japanese mineral pigments. These pigments have undergone a special elutriation process that achieves precise and uniform particle sizes. These particles of nearly identical size and shape offer exceptionally clear colors with unique texture. Orange iron oxide and Tourmaline are made with Iwa-Enogu single pigments. The historic trio of Cinabro hue, Azurite hue and Malachite hue are made using an Enogu pigment base of Peach agate, Sodalite and Amazonite respectively. The stone pigment base has allowed us to maintain a mineral quality in these copper and mercury-free hues. Other highlights include, genuine Lapis lazuli, extra fine, an intense deep blue color made from the semi-precious stone used in historical painting. We have a new exclusive source for our premium extra fine Lapis lazuli. This exquisite Fra Angelico blue pigment is made by grinding semi-precious lapis lazuli stones into a powder and exacting the purest pigment in small, artisan batches. Indigo, genuine is an ancient colorant made from the fermented gray green leaves and flowering stalks of over 30 related plant species, including the medicinal indigo shrub Indigofera tinctoria native to India. Rose Madder (NR9), genuine is a transparent red pigment made from the root of the Rubia tinctorum plant. Madder was used in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome for dyeing textiles and, to some extent, making pigments. Other notable colors in this palette are Lilac, a fresh, granulating delicate purple and a single pigment Van Dyck brown made from real German lignite. Icelandic red earth is a semi-transparent pigment with a subtly variegated color display of plum and red ochre tones. This pigment was collected by David Kremer and landscape painter Peter Lang from near the volcano Snaefellsjoekull in western Iceland.
