Brighter Day Pigments

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.

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.

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.

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.
