Historically, Indian miniature artists relied on dry ground stone pigments and earth colours, bound with natural adhesives like Babool Gum (Gond), to achieve unmatched longevity, depth, and vibrancy. These pigments were traditionally applied on handmade paper known as Basli, the classic surface used in Indian miniature painting. The same traditional theory and process are followed in this Artshaili colour set, ensuring durability, authenticity, and archival quality.

This complete variety of colours includes both stone colours and natural pigmented powders, carefully selected to meet the needs of detailed miniature styles. The set contains 20 distinct colours, each packed in a 3 gm jar (approx. 3–5 gm per colour), making it ideal for professional miniature artists, art scholars, and traditional painting learners. All pigments are earth-ground, allowing artists full control over consistency by diluting them with Babool Gum before application.
