Wet Sand
Professional Handmade Watercolour

Natural brown for beaches, paths and more. Highly adjustable, and natural, never looks too warm or too cool but can be adjusted with yellows for warmth or blues to make it greyer.

Our Process

Our process starts by using only the finest hand-picked Kordofan Gum Arabic Lumps and carefully blending with distilled water, this mixture is left for a few weeks until fully dissolved, we then strain this mixture through unbleached Muslin bags to remove any impurities like straw and sand which is naturally found on the gum when it falls onto the ground from the Acacia tree

Once fully strained we then add in the vegetable glycerine, a touch of biocide and gently blend using one of our mixers to ensure a smooth, fluid consistency

Once made this base mix then undergoes two weeks of quality control testing to ensure the highest possible quality

We then take the finished base mix and carefully mix in the dry pigment power(s) and any other auxiliary materials required to achieve the best possible dispersion of the pigment

Once the pigment is fully “wetted out” into a paste we carefully run this over our triple roll mill with ceramic rollers (we use ceramic rollers as metal rollers can adversely affect some pigments)

After the first run over the mill a sample of the paint is then run over our Hegman Gauge to test the fineness of the grind, we use this method to ensure the pigment has the same particle size as the previous batch, if not we run the paint over the mill again and again until we reach the desired grind

We then test viscosity, density and finally paint out a swatch of the colour against the original finalised paint test swatches

The final paint is then left for a further 2 weeks as part of our quality control process before being hand filled into our tubes, pots or pans and finally labelled

Soggy Sand!

A little dark for wetland, requires high thinning

Basically raw umber?..

Lovely, rich, pigmented and smooth paint that lays beautifully, as with all Jackman's watercolours that I have. Not quite sure how 'sandy' it is, but it's a useful version of raw umber nonetheless.

New addition to my palette

I sure it will give my beach scenes a more realistic look

Wet Sand

This colour is very much like Raw Umber but punchier. (PBr7used as one of the pigments) It seems to granulate (although it's not mentioned on the tube) and is slightly more opaque. (semi transparent) It blends beautifully (as do the other colours I purchased) A useful colour for landscapes. It will certainly earn it's place in my palette and I'm looking forward to trying more of Jackman's paints😊
