This series is a specialized 10-bottle collection of custom-blended neutral shades developed by Hal Sawyer. Unlike standard palettes that focus on bright saturation, the Earthtone Series prioritizes subdued, naturalistic tones. These colors are engineered to provide organic warmth and harmony, making them essential for wildlife realism, autumn-themed pieces, and sophisticated background work.

The set includes a precision-curated list of muted shades: Amethyst, Antique Bone, Dark Moss, Flint Brown, Graphite, Neutral Flesh, Perfect Flesh, Terra Cotta, Tobacco Leaf, and Victorian Rose. This variety provides a perfect foundation for everything from stone and wood textures to realistic animal fur and complex skin undertones.

While the Earthtone Series is a favorite for wildlife and nature realism, it is also an incredible utility set for Japanese traditional and illustrative artists. It fills a crucial gap for environmental elements like rocks, water, and foliage where a primary green or brown would look too "plastic" or artificial.

Yes. Like the entire StarBrite catalog, the Earthtone Series is 100% vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. The inks are manufactured in the USA in a certified ISO 8 cleanroom and are sterilized via Gamma Radiation. They are iron and nickel-free, ensuring they meet the highest safety standards for all clients.

StarBrite is legendary for its thin, pre-dispersed consistency. This allows these complex, muted pigments to flow effortlessly from the needle and blend smoothly on the skin. Because these tones sit between typical hues, the thin consistency makes it much easier to build up subtle, layered depth without over-working the skin or creating a "muddy" appearance.
