Description
The author is discussing the qualities of a particular type of watercolor paint. The paint is made with a specific mixture of pigments, and it is transparent and fresh. The light behind the color is what makes this type of paint special.
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.
