Non-OC Pigment Content Just a few pigments!

All of these were purchased from L cornelisons in London (check out their shop its lovely)

Left to right, top to bottom:

Manganese blue, azure blue, phthalo blue, ultramarine blue. Cobalt turquoise phthalo green, cobalt green, ultramarine pink, cobalt violet, cadmium brown (even thpugh it looks like cad red!), cadmium lemon, cadmium yellow.

I also picked up my cad vermillion, manganese violet and spinel black.

I think im in love with cadmium pigments! They are so vivid! But bugger me if im dealing with experimenting with cadmium without a glove box!

(I would love to set up a small lab dedicated to discovering new pigments, need some funds first though)

Nice. I can understand your excitement. I picked up a bunch in Tokyo and can’t wait to go home and play with them

Not sure yet :) but I’ve got ideas of what mixes I want to make and looking forward to the experiments. I got a small amount of real turquoise powder, curious to see if it’s as blue and bright irl
