😊 Meet the maker 😊

 

Hiiiii !

My name is Isabelle, I am a Québec-based artist in Canada. I’m 44 years old and it's no coincidence that my products are so colorful and vibrant. I am a creative, curious, positive person that loves to laugh and start new projects ! 

Come on, I'll tell you a little more about myself! 😊


 

MY PASSIONS

We're going to do this in bulk.
I do love colors, animals, music, travelling, nature and of course, chocolate! Attending a music or a comedy show are some of my absolute favorite things to do. By the way, Dave Grohl has been the man of my life since I was 15 ❤️

There, that’s said 🙈

You can meet me at weird little basement shows, in a big American stadium or at an European open-air festival. I often use the excuse of attending a show to travel somewhere new. That’s just the best.

As I said, I love starting new projects and am always looking forward to learning new things. That's why another of my passions is coffee. You know, to keep the rhythm!


HOW IT ALL BEGAN

By accident.
Yup ! I have a business by accident!
Because my day job was an ovarian cancer research coordinator for 20 year.

I know.

In 2020, my love of science and watercolor collided! I had to explore the possibility of creating beautiful colors that I couldn’t find on the market. I wanted them to be as saturated, creamy and satisfying as possible. I shared my process and behind the scenes on my social media… And let me tell you, I was NOT prepared for the response I got and the sweetest community that naturally built itself around our brand ever since. ❤️

HOW EVERYTHING EVOLVED

Quickly. Why make only 24 colors if you can make…. 150 ! 😂
Pop Pigments is a small business specializing in artisan watercolour paints handcrafted in Quebec, Canada.
Be warned : Our paints are bold and infused with a lot of love and an uncompromising amount of pigment! We offers several collections of handmade watercolours, each prepared, poured and packaged by hand. Our paints are like eye candies and truly one of a kind!

They are widely recognized for the exceptional quality of the pigments, their high concentration with absolutely no fillers, and their rich, creamy texture. Every paint is developed with great rigor—from ingredient sourcing to precise formulation—so nothing is in the way of your creativity!

Among our best sellers, you’ll find a 24-colour extra fine palette that is vibrant, premium, lightfast and highly pigmented. It contains many of our unique signature colours, ready to use in an array of applications like traditional watercolor painting and mixed media, but also calligraphy and hand lettering.

If you are more into special-effect paints, look no further!
We have many mesmerizing collections to suit your needs, including rich Metallic, Pearl iridescent, Fluorescent, Colorshift, and many more. Most of them are vegan and some are also opaque.

With more than 500 five stars reviews, it seems our paints are standing out amongst other brands, and that’s exactly what we are aiming at! The growing organic demand and enthusiasm for our products have been our greatest reward.


With the greatest of support from my community in Québec, I soon found myself shipping worldwide! Including Australia and many European countries! To this date, my watercolor paints have traveled to Yukon, Japan, Australia, England, France... Crazy sh!t ! 

It seems like our handmade, Canadian products are standing out amongst other brands. And that’s exactly what we are aiming at!

How can you not be grateful to experience this 💙

GIVING BACK

To the animals.
One of the greatest achievements that this adventure has allowed me to experience is to give back to animals by supporting a sanctuary for exotic animals called Animal Tracks Inc. I visited in 2018, became friends with the care takers and since 2019, part of my profits have been donated to the shelter for the care of their animals that I love so much. Really, they are a-do-rable. From wolves hybrid, to monkeys (Monkeyyyyyys !!), to foxes, to serval cat, their mission is to educate about wildlife and give them a forever home. They do it perfectly! 

This cause speaks to me, a lot, and it’s close to US $10,000 that were donated since 2019. Thanks to you.

WHAT’S COMING

A lot.
As of 2026, we are now a well established art suply brand in Quebec and are working on expanding the retailer network across Canada and to collaborate with more brand ambassadors! I won’t stop here & I also pledge to make a sustained effort to always fill your eyes and your heart with joyful colors, one new collection at a time.
Thank you for being a part of all this.
