Beam Paints are the result of a lifetime of creative exploration, and a deep love and respect for the natural world. The creation of Indigenous entrepreneur Anong Beam, her products make use of "lightfast pigments, tree sap, gum arabic, and Manitoulin honey, blend[ed] together to create a handmade saturated colour that is a joy to paint with... quality is evident in every stroke."

These paints and natural Japanese papers seem to be made for one another! Many years ago, in the early days of The Japanese Paper Place, Anong Beam's father, renowned artist Carl Beam, would come to the shop and purchase paper for his work, and for his daughter. His love and appreciation of the paper has been passed to Anong.

We are thrilled to continue this relationship in our new collaboration with Beam Paints and are pleased to introduce three new The JPP x Beam Paints packaged assortments featuring her travel palettes on two sizes of Etchu Card, and including Beam Paints custom brushes along with a luscious assortment of Japanese Paper.

We are currently offering the opportunity to pre-order these packages. Please contact your representative for details.
