The foundation of The Stoneground Paint Co. was laid by Cruz Anderson. Anderson learned the foundations of paint making and traditional knowledge from Dr. David Cranswick while studying in London, England.  Continuing to study and research on his own, Anderson shared his knowledge with Kathleen Avram, Eric Rowe, Brittany Perry, and Jenny Rowe, while working to perfect the proportions and processes used in the creation of Stoneground's handmade paints and mediums.

Our watercolour paints are made by hand from the finest pigments available. Each pigment is bound within a unique combination of the highest-grade gum arabic and locally sourced organic honey. Stoneground's watercolour paints are ground by hand, and are made in small batches. We do not use any fillers in our paint in order to keep it as pure as possible.  Stoneground also produces customized orders for our clients. Contact us - we would be happy to work with you!

Single Pigment

One of the many advantages to our paints is they are single pigments. Brilliant colours can be achieved with our single pigment paints.

Hey, Honey!

Locally sourced organic honey is used as part of our binder recipe. The advantage of the honey is that it creates a beautiful smooth consistency to our paint.

Gum Arabic

We use the worlds best pure gum arabic to create our amazing, vibrant paint.
