Description
The author is discussing how Blu is a superior watercolor because of its purity of pigments and lack of blending powders or additives. The author also mentions how the paper's whiteness allows the light to shine through the colors and create an effect that is reminiscent of painting with white paint.
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.
