Are the watercolors vegan?

No. The watercolors are made with the use of honey, which is a bee product. Bees are animals and that makes watercolors non-vegan.

Are the watercolors toxic?

Natural earth pigments are not toxic. Pearlescent colors are not toxic. Pigments with words "cadmium", "cobalt", "manganese", and "lead" in the title are toxic. They are most toxic when inhaled in powdered form. In watercolor form, they are not hazardous.

Some listings include pan magnets. What are they for?

Small magnets attached to the bottom of pans help them stay in place when they are in a tin box. Without the magnets, pans may move and flip, especially if the tin box has extra space. If you plan to keep the paints in the tin box (and carry the box around, e.g. to plein air, to class, or on a trip), having magnets is a good idea. If you plan to keep your paints in a standard palette with pan holders, you don't need magnets.

I have specific question about shipping, tracking, watercolors, or other products.

John Sargent was a cosmopolitan (North American-European) artist who was well known on both sides of the Atlantic for his oil paintings. Sargent was trained to paint like the grand old masters and was friends with French post-impressionists who embraced bright pure colors and outdoor (plein air) painting. Sargent made much money painting rich people's portraits and traveled extensively. He always brought his watercolors and painted everywhere he went. He painted over 2000 watercolors in his lifetime! Unlike his oil paintings, dark and grand, Sargent's watercolors are transparent, light, and almost abstract. Sargent used watercolors to quickly capture scenes and to convey sunlight. Watercolors allowed Sargent more creative freedom than his commissioned oil works and became his medium for artistic exploration and experiments.

Personal painting experience: Reading about and researching Sargent's artworks and paint palettes (both oil and watercolor), I began to appreciate his approach to blending and applying colors. Sargent's watercolor palette is mostly cool with a few strong warm colors. It is quite versatile and its colors can be recognized in all of his watercolor paintings: landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes painted all over the world. The palette is quite refined, i.e. there are no redundant colors. I am a big admirer of practical limited palettes and this is a good example of one. I like Sargent's use of opaque white: he used it to cover mistakes and to add or re-establish highlights that he painted over :-)

All colors in this palette are lightfast, highly pigmented, saturated, deep, and rich. Each one is a stand alone pigment (no blends!).

Tin box option is available with this set. See images for the exact configuration. If you would like to get another tin box for this set (larger or smaller), see all available options in this listing:

These watercolors were made in a small batch with a use of natural and organic materials. I used natural earth pigments and the binding made of a combination of organic gum arabic, organic honey, organic essential oil (preservative), and vegetable glycerin. There are no other additives or fillers, just pure pigment.
