Blue Magic

Oh my goodness, my box of blue magic arrived. The colors are so vibrant, and there are some gemstone based ones as well (mmm...Lapis Lazuli blue). An assortment of blues from Kremer. I can't wait to use these on something. Perhaps on the Iron Khan painting that's waiting to get started.

  3. Wow...just gorgeous. I, too, can't wait to see them in your artwork.

    On another note : Has anyone ever had your work converted into a tattoo? I would love to see that, if so...

  5. Looking at those lovely blues kinda' makes you want to roll in them like a cat wallowing in bed of catnip.

  6. Yeah, I do a lot of tattoo commissions, and I let people use my existing work as well, as long as they check with me first.

    And haha yeah, like a cat!

  7. Those... are just beautiful colors. There's no doubt you'll make good use of them.

    Q: How do you incorporate them into your watercolor paintings? Do you mix them into a paint paste or just add water and gum arabic/honey to some pigment dust?

  8. Yes I would love to know how you use them too, since I'm thinking about changing to pigments. To you need a artificial medium like for acrylics and oils or is water enough?

  9. Ohh I must fawn over your blues now! That is the exact set I keep eying over at their website. Just beautiful stuff! But OH so pricey. I imagine they're totally worth it, though!

  10. I haven't bought any paints in so long Angela, I figured it's about time for a splurge!

  11. And yes, you just mix gum arabic and water

  12. A worthy splurge! I think I will do the same at some point when it's a splurgy kind of day. That Blue set is to DIE for. I can't wait to see what you do with it.:)

  13. I would love to work with these pigments too! In order to mix them, are they equal amounts of each to mix? Or does Kremer give you a recipe for the mixture, etc. I can't wait to see the magic you will weld!

  14. Do you mix your own colors often, or do you prefer to simply have a vast range of pigments available for you to use?
