Introducing The O’Keeffe Palette
A handmade leather natural watercolor palette by Martha Mae and Beam Paints made in collaboration with Tundra Leather.
Over a year in the making, we are thrilled to announce our latest palette collaboration with Beam Paints. Inspired by the colors of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings and the natural beauty of the New Mexico desert, we designed two leather travel palettes filled with the vibrant pigments of Beam’s natural, handmade watercolors.
Available in a 20 watercolor pan and 30 watercolor pan set, each palette is handcrafted in a beautiful natural leather that mimics the color of the Earth at Ghost Ranch. This leather will develop a beautiful natural patina overtime with use and exposure to sun. Inside you will find a portable travel paintbrush and beeswax canvas that keeps the paints from rubbing on each other when closed and fastened.
These limited edition palettes are now available in the U.S. through Martha Mae and in Canada through Beam Paints.
Closed: 2.75" x 5.5"
Open: 5.75" x 5.5"
This set of 20 colors includes:
Boreal, Topaz Lake, Robins Egg (Gouache), Morning Peach (Gouache), Bread, Grey Ultra (Gouache), Wet Grizzly (Mica), Wild Salmon (Mica), Cherry Magenta, Turtle Belly, Wintery Night (Mica), Fairytale Gold (Mica), Ice (Gouache), Milkweed (Gouache), Thundercloud, Timberwolf, Sky Blue (Gouache), Harvest Wheat, Grasshopper, Cream (Gouache)
Made in Canada

Beam Paints was started by Anong Beam who grew up harvesting hematite pigments with her parents in the stunning natural landscape of the lacloche mountain range near her home in M'chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. She learned a love of pigment and color from her parents who are both artists and eventually this early knowledge of indigenous pigments was used to make her new line of paints focusing on sublime color and biodegradable packaging. All the paints and packing is hand made, hand cut and sanded from reclaimed white cedar and birch or wrappers hand printed in shop with plant based inks and waxed with local beeswax. Beam Paints is a plastic free company.
"When I make paint I think about my Dad a lot, he taught me when I was really small to identify hematite and look for paintstones. He kept them in his art bag in a little cloth wrapper, and when he needed paint he brought them out and prepared his paint for ceramic bowls, drums, or rocks. I really wanted something of my paint making practice to share the tactile joy of the physicality of paint." Anong Beam
