First, what exactly is a mineral pigment? A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic substance with a definite crystal structure and chemical composition and predictable physical properties, including hardness, refractive index and color. Curious about trying some primary colors? Overall these paints, on appearance and handling attributes, seem to divide into four groups: • More "earth" oxides. Novices may dislike the limited color range, but experienced painters may enjoy the challenge of using to best artistic effect paints that are distinctive in color, texture and handling attributes. Try Da Vinci or perhaps QoR. I've stocked up on the PO49 simply because I prefer single pigment colours where possible. • Red Fuchsite Genuine $$ - Medium consistency out of the tube, gummy vehicle; very fine, powdery pigment texture that is easily brushed out wet in wet; mica flakes with dull, cool reddish color similar to indian red, lighter and much less purple than the online image. Shipped with this invoice disclaimer: This mineral pigment is suspended in a thick honeylike binder. I also have it from W&N, though it goes by "Permanent Mauve" with them, and looks quite different from the DS one. The amount of gum and other carbohydrates necessary to disperse heavy and/or coarsely divided mineral pigments, and hold them suspended in a metal tube during their long inventory hibernation, is typically much greater than the concentration of vehicle necessary to bind the pigment particles to the cellulose fibers of paper. • Blue Apatite Genuine $$$ - Creamy consistency out of the tube, slightly flocculating, particulate texture; very dark, dull blue (similar to indanthrone blue or iron blue) with some diffusion wet in wet. I just wondered if the blue behaves in a similar manner. I paint too many botanicals to keep away from g... Holbein from Japan has been making watercolour since the early1920s. Hardness ~6.8, specific gravity ~2.6, refractive index ~1.53. In a few cases the PrimaTek marketing name (Sedona genuine, Côte d'azur violet) is not the name of a recognized mineral or type of rock (sandstone, shale). Attributes Common to the Line. If you consider the Daniel Smith marketing materials, it would appear that chunks of rock are blasted from mountains, hand sorted for quality, mechanically pulverized by a jaw mill, reduced a hammer mill into a dry pigment powder, and finished once with a wire sieve. Processing advances also include more sophisticated and precise methods for the crystallization, dry grinding, ball milling, washing and grade separation (levigation), kiln drying and finishing of pigments to smaller and more homogeneous particle sizes, so that the pigment can be tuned to specific colorant applications. • sodalite [Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2] – Sodium aluminum silicate (with chlorine), sodalite is another form of feldspar (tectosilicate). I found myself exerting more pressure to coax paint onto the paper; smaller brushes are necessary to get a desired lightness or detail in the brushstroke; "feathering" and pinholing are much easier to produce as a texture effect.

In part as reaction to the bland homogeneity of these pigments and their "artificial" color appearance, and in part through renewed interest in historical painting methods and materials, the modern manufacturing knowledge has been applied to an economically small trade in "historical" pigments manufactured from natural materials, using either traditional or modern milling technology (which produces smaller and more homogeneous particle sizes). Cover the raw paint with plenty of water, and set aside to soak for three or four days. In my view the PrimaTek paints are best thought of as fresco watercolors. • Serpentine Genuine $$$ - Creamy consistency out of the tube, normal vehicle; very fine pigment texture that diffuses smoothly; dull, dark yellow green in masstone that separates into a dramatic reddish brown flocculation over a bright yellow green background, much more saturated than the online image. Using these "modern" pigment mixtures permits a variety of water texturing effects, much better control in washes, and a much larger color gamut. It is intriguing to pursue subtle pastel texturing effects — crosshatching, stippling, braceleting, physical blending, feathering — that do not rely on the water partnership found in traditional watercolors. • Vivianite – Blue Ochre $$$$$ - Creamy consistency out of the tube, very gummy vehicle; moderate pigment texture that is difficult to brush out smoothly; dark bluish gray with blackish granulation.

The extremely vibrant colors provide excellent brushing properties and retains outstanding color strength when mixed with Titanium White. When pure water is poured over it, the gum dissolves and migrates into the water to reduce the solute imbalance. Hardness ~1.8, specific gravity ~2.6, refractive index ~1.6. I wonder if, like manganese blue, there are difficulties with the manufacturing of the pigment? I found your blog several months ago. Last revised 08.I.2015 • © 2015 Bruce MacEvoy.

The rest of the PrimaTek paints are either readily duplicated by existing pigments or pigment mixtures, or they are not value priced given their muted colorant properties and the number of paintings these weakly tinting and thickly bound pigments will yield. 4.8 out of 5 stars 288.
