First of all, some people may wonder,“What is Japanese painting really about?”.
Japanese painting is one of the traditional drawing expression that draw with a mix of animal glue and mineral pigments. It may seems difficult, but the process is actually simple.
All you need to do is mix mineral pigments and adhesive (medium) called “Animal glue”.
Now you can experience the world of mineral pigments easily!
For beginners, we recommend this PIGMENT TOKYO’s Original 12 colors set.
We are offering both natural mineral pigments, and Shin-iwa (artificial) mineral pigments.
Let’s see the difference between the two.
As the name has shown, natural pigments are the pigments made of ground natural ores which the color tone is mutated
On the contrary, Shin-iwa pigments (artificial pigment) are made of ground colored synthetic pigments. Modern color of Shin-iwa pigments has the sense of Japanese elegance, but also perfect for gorgeous expressions.
By comparing the same color of Gunjo, we can see the difference.
While the texture ofnatural pigments are rough, the Shin-iwa pigments produces matte texture and color.
