COLOUR COLLECTION No.5

Plain English is familiar with the art of time travel. For our most recent range of paints, we step through a time portal and out into an 18th Century British neighbourhood and park, hello sky! hello trees! Eight new colours celebrating all that we see on our walk – high walled backyards, curtained doorways, gloss painted passageways, mossy tracks and bosky meadows. Colours inspired by a past land submerged in nature and fresh air. This collection was put together by Sue Skeen and Katie Fontana.

A new colour collection with it’s origins in old-English verdure tapestries, faded in time. Colours found in the threads depicting wooded landscapes and country scenes – a gentle yet curious collection.

                                Scrubbed - a block of green carbolic soap, a stiff brush and plenty of elbow grease.
