A limited-edition palette inspired by the desert southwest
Inspired by the red rocks of Southern Utah and the endangered Bearclaw Poppy found there, the pigments in the Grow Untamed Palette evoke the desert’s subtle, dusty tones and lively splashes of color.
The collection includes a small Hahnemühle Agave Watercolor Pad, an acid-free, vegan, and sustainably produced cold-press watercolor paper.

A mix of watercolor and gouache
The palette contains four watercolors and two opaque gouaches.
- Create a lovely granulated green by mixing kelly green, sunflower, and violet ochre.
- Capture a range of desert soil with Italian orange and violet ochre, with a touch of buff.
- Washes of sky blue capture a subtle desert atmosphere while sunflower yellow brings a pop of color to your desert flowers.
