Beam Paints

Made in the M'Chigeeng First Nation, these naturally gorgeous watercolour and gouache paints are handcrafted using traditional indigenous techniques and blended with lightfast pigments, foraged tree sap, gum arabic and Manitoulin honey from the Beam family hives. All items are plastic-free, non-toxic and made without heavy metals as pigment sources.

Beam watercolours and gouache come in a variety of formats: some wrapped in beeswax canvas to form individual paintstones which can purchased separately or as part of a curated set. Others are poured into hand-sized travel palettes made from cedar and birch offcuts from an Indigenous-led sustainable lumber operation - these make a lovely gift. The rest are poured straight onto kraft paper to make their 'travel cards' - a great option if you are new to Beam paints and would like to test them out or if you are looking for something to carry with you when you plan on painting outdoors or on holiday.

Alchemist Gallery is currently the only stockist of Beam Paints in Scotland. We stock their individual 'Paintstones', 'Paintstone' sets, birch travel palettes and a range of watercolour/gouache travel cards. We have had some really great feedback from users, who often come back for more.
