Description
The author of the passage is discussing the merits of MaimeriBlu watercolours, which are made with a high degree of purity and without any additives. The colours are transparent and fresh, and the light that shines on them makes them appear white.
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.
