Question 1

Where do you get your pigments?

Accepted Answer

I source my pigments from a variety of trusted, professional pigment dealers who specialize in high-quality, lightfast materials. Many of these pigments have deep historical roots and are used by artists around the world. I don’t forage or harvest pigments myself—I rely on reputable suppliers to ensure that every color I create is both beautiful and built to last.

Question 2

What is watercolor made of?

Accepted Answer

Watercolor is made of two main ingredients: pigment and a binder—usually gum arabic. I make my own gum arabic from scratch using a recipe I’ve developed over time, which gives my paints their signature smoothness and richness. Every pan is crafted with care to deliver a vibrant, consistent painting experience.

Question 3

Are the paints toxic?

Accepted Answer

Yes—like most artist-grade materials, they should not be consumed. It’s my firm position that all pigments should be treated as potentially toxic. Please avoid ingesting them, putting them on your skin, or using them in cosmetics. Always use good studio practices when painting.

Question 4

What if I’m not happy with my order?

Accepted Answer

No problem! I want you to love your paints. Just contact me anytime, and I’ll be happy to replace any items or make it right. Your satisfaction matters to me.

Question 5

Do you create all the artwork on your products?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All the artwork you see on my products is hand drawn by me. I love adding personal, artistic touches to everything I make—it’s part of what makes Brighter Day Pigments so special.
