Description
The author is discussing the Blu line of paints, which are made with a very pure pigment mix and no additives. The colors are very transparent and the light behind the color is what makes them look bright.
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.
