Unboxing of Deep Deep Light Watercolours

Sharing my first impressions of these nature-inspired, handmade paints + a special discount for subscribers and paid members.

Hello!

I’m honoured to have recently become a brand ambassador for Deep Deep Light Watercolours; an artisan watercolour factory where paints are hand-made, sustainably and with love by a group of artists with a deep appreciation for nature.

A small selection of the swatches included in my delivery

I admire Deep Deep Light’s values of their respect for the environment and sustainable manufacturing practices and also how their passion for art and nature is intrinsic to their products, company and themselves as people.

I’ve followed them on Instagram for some time, captivated by the beautiful photography and storytelling in their posts.

The product photography on Deep Deep Light’s website and social pages are beautifully shot and tell a story about the paints and the artists. Image from https://www.instagram.com/deepdeeplight_watercolors/

In this video, I unbox my first delivery and reveal these beautiful paints to you. They’re all carefully packaged by hand, with handwritten labels on the front of each package. It honestly feels like my Christmases have come all at once and that I’m opening very special gifts!

Note: During this video there’s some noisy rustling of the paper as I remove the packaging, apologies if this sound is unpleasant! 🫣

I’m also sniffing and snuffling as my hay fever has been bad this month. Sorry! 😆
