Description
The author is discussing the Blu line of paints, which are made with a superior pigment mix and are free of blending powders and other additives. The author also points out that the light is behind the color in this type of painting, and that the whiteness of the paper helps to illuminate the colors.
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.
