Description
The author is discussing the difference between MaimeriBlu watercolors and other brands. MaimeriBlu watercolors are made with a pure pigment mix and do not contain any blending powders or additives. This allows the colors to be more transparent and allows the light to shine through them, creating a more luminous effect.
MaimeriBlu features an absolute purity of pigments that, together with gum arabic, compose the totality of the mixture. Imperceptible, transparent, clean. No blending powders, and no additives. Nothing harmonises or synchronises the shift between the various shades. The real value lies in the transparency of its colours and in the freshness of its washes. It is the whiteness of the paper that illuminates this type of painting. The light is behind the colour.
