Surprise drop: Luminous Winter Botanicals Mini handcrafted watercolor collection ✨


Missed the full set? Your winter mini is here 🌿

Reader…

Hi creative friend!

All week my studio table has been covered in little winter experiments—strips of green, bark brown, and berry pink drying on watercolor paper, test swatches of a new mineral ink wash, and two beautiful handcrafted watercolor mini ceramic XL swatch tiles I kept reaching for over and over.

As I was painting, I kept thinking about everyone who messaged, “I missed the Luminous Winter Botanicals launch!”

So I decided to bottle up a mini version of that palette—a tiny, travel-ready set just for winter sketchbooks.

🌿 Luminous Winter Botanicals Mini Collection (Limited Drop)

A travel-sized winter palette with a brand-new surface to play on.

You’ll receive:

  • 2 XL watercolor swatch tiles
    • 12–14 Luminous Winter Botanicals colors across both tiles
    • Deep greens, earthy browns, luminous berry pinks
    • Tiles double as a portable palette + swatch reference
  • 1 brand-new 20 mL Mineral Ink Wash
    • Soft, neutral wash that mixes with the watercolors
    • Dries to a velvety matte surface that loves PIGMENT BARS, watersoluble pencils, pastels + more
  • 2 multicolor confetti PIGMENT BARS
    • Wax paint in a bar format, can be used heated or dry.
    • Each bar contains 3-5 colors ~ all new colors, never released before
These are small-batch and shipping mid-December once they finish drying in the studio.

A few ways to play…

  • Paint loose winter botanicals + foliage studies
  • Create soft matte underpaintings, then add linework and marks on top
  • Layer PIGMENT BARS, pencils, and pastels over the clay-wash surface

There are only a handful of sets in this surprise drop—once they’re gone, they’re gone.

P.S. The tiles and new mineral ink wash are drying on my studio table right now and will ship in mid-December. If you want this in your winter sketchbook (or to tuck into a gift for a creative friend), now’s the time. SHOP LUMINOUS WINTER BOTANCIALS collection

It’s here: VELVET & VERDIGRIS 💌 Reader… Hi creative friend! I've been deep in my favorite kind of treasure hunt lately — sorting through vintage ephemera from antique and thrifting explorations: walnut ink stained parchment letters, tarnished jewelry, fabric swatches, lace, and ribbon with histories I'll never know. That's exactly where VELVET & VERDIGRIS was born. This Valentine paint collection is limited edition with TWO handcrafted mixed media sets to choose from. It’s romance with...
