Watercolor Sample Cards

The perfect way to try Beam Paints for the first time, or send a special small gift to someone far away.

These travel cards are little dollops of Beam solid watercolor paint on handmade Saint Armand paper, folded into a mailable card. Each dollop lasts a surprisingly long time and will give you or the recipient a good sense of how wonderful these paints are to work with.

The mini travel cards are the smaller size pictured.

Please Note: If you order this item by itself, it will ship in an envelope with a postage stamp. However, there is no option for this in the online shop settings, so you will be charged $3.50 for shipping, and I will refund the difference in postage costs after your order is placed.

Beam Paints is an Indigenous woman owned company based in M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Their paints are handmade in small batches from non toxic pigments, tree sap, gum arabic and Manitoulin honey blended together to create a handmade saturated color that is a joy to paint with. From thick stripes to fine washes and details, quality is evident in every stroke. The wood used in their refillable palettes are offcuts from an Indigenous owned sustainable lumber operation and their entire company is plastic free except for the nylon bristles in their travel brushes.
