Description
The author is discussing the Blu type of watercolor paint, which is made with a very pure pigment mix and does not contain any blending powders or additives. The author also points out that the whiteness of the paper helps to illuminate the colors in the painting.
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.
