🌊 THE STORY BEHIND BEACHCOMBER
Beachcombing is about more than collecting objects—it’s a practice of slowing down, observing the smallest details, and discovering beauty in the unexpected. This collection was inspired by my time wandering the shores of Hawaii, where the ocean offers tiny treasures shaped by time, waves, and salt.
From the soft translucence of tumbled sea glass to the warm coral glow of broken shells, the earthy driftwood smoothed by the tide, and the deep, shifting blues of tide pools, each color in this collection reflects the magic of the shoreline.
Beachcomber is an invitation to explore these quiet, intimate moments of discovery in your art. With layered, mixable pigments and a palette echoing the natural textures of the sea, this collection encourages you to play, experiment, and create with the essence of the coast in your sketchbook.
ABOUT THE PAINT: limited edition handcrafted artisan paints and inks created by traci bautista. Each collection is one-of-a-kind. There are limited quantities and tend to sell out quickly.
The colors create a number of textured effects depending on the substrate, type of paper and the amount of water used when they are applied. The magic unfolds as the colors dry and the pigments start to separate. The colors have a luster when light gently hits the surface and some have a slightly gritty texture.
The paints can be mixed, used as a resist, blended together, and are perfect to use with my any of Traci’s handcrafted mixed media products and stencil/stamp collections! They inks and watercolors can be used for lettering and sketching with pointed nib dip pens, calligraphy, and in fountain pens.
Due to the unique handcrafted manufacturing process of these product, the color swatches in the photos may be different from what you see on screen. Colors are created in small batches which results in each set being slightly different.
