Description
★Also sold individually★
These Gansai (Japanese watercolors) change their hue and shimmer depending on the angle of view, light, base color, paper color, etc.
【Features】
When applied to white paper, they appear almost colorless at first glance, but a faint pearlescent color is produced, with polarization added depending on the angle of light and viewing angle.
When applied to dark paper, the light is absorbed by the paper's color, adding a strong metallic color and shimmer.
Also, regardless of the paper color, the stronger the light, the stronger the particle color and the more they sparkle.
【Usage】
In addition to mixing Opal Colors together, you can also mix them with other water-based inks and paints.
They can be used for all kinds of art, including illustrations, paintings, and calligraphy.
【About the pigments used】
When light hits opal or mother-of-pearl shells, a phenomenon called "play-of-color" creates rainbow-like hues through the irregular reflection and absorption of light. Opal Colors use pearl pigments made from high-quality artificial mica, which produces a similar effect, and express color through the interference of light without using colored pigments. This makes them highly lightfast and environmentally friendly art materials.
