Our predecessors have found "colors" from the wilderness and painted paintings.

 

In particular, rock paint, which is based on minerals, is the relationship between the development of oriental art and the honeymoon.

For example, the Tokyo National Museum is stored"Kinu book Color Futen Bodhisattva statue"The pedestal part uses a lot of materials that are familiar in Japanese paintings as well as ultra -blue and green blue.

 

 

The gemstone of the lunar blue is called the indigo mineral (Azurite), and the gemstone of the green blue is called Peacock Stone (Malacite), and the rough is like this.

These two rough stones are made of the same copper carbonated minerals, and the indigo copper ore changes to a porch stone depending on the ingredients in the atmosphere.

For this reason, there are some colors of both colors, which can be said to be the toning plate created by the earth.

 

The right photo is indigo copper and Peacock stone on the left.

 

 

However, natural rock paint is not versatile.

As mentioned above, minerals are crushed, so the price per car (15g) is high, and a lot of cost is required when making a masterpiece.

Also, because of the natural origin, the color may vary depending on the lot.

Above all, there are limited types of materials that crush and become coloring materials even if it is wide. It is not easy to cover all of the horses such as oil paints and acrylic paints with natural ones.

 

That's where this new rock paint appeared.

This new rock paint is also divided into 10 levels of each color, like natural rock paint. No. 5 is the most coarse, as the step goes up, the particles become finer, and white becomes the finest powder.

 

From the left, Nagagawa Ku -flock's new rock paint "Gunsei", the company's natural "Gunsei", and Kichijo's "Gunsei".

You can see that each color is slightly different.

 

 

This pigment starts with the fact that glaze and metal oxide are fired high -temperature and produced a lump of colored glass. Then, by generating a pseudo "rough" and crushing it, it becomes a particle feeling that does not feel uncomfortable even when used in combination with natural rock paint.

For this reason, the number of colors is abundant, and even rock paints that are not designed on the premise of mixing color also have colored pallets that are comparable to oil paint and acrylic paint. Another feature is that the durability of the pigment is very high compared to natural rock paint.

 

 

In this lab, we handle Nagagawa Hu Powder Co., Ltd. and Shinwa paint of Kichijo Co., Ltd.

Both are manufacturers that manufacture wonderful domestic rock paint, so it is difficult to give it, but I think that one of the strengths of the Kichijo is that it is in the color tone and color name of the chewy choice that can not be said.

 

Kichijo has a unique color name, and it is exciting to read the character side, such as Iwatado, ancient Nishiki, and tea green blue mouth.

It is a feature of this manufacturer that such an oriental color scenery is skillfully trimmed.

 

So what kind of color do you actually apply if you actually apply a new rock paint? This time, we will focus on the keyword "Gunsei".

Previous"Sparkling cloud mother -its history and usage ~"But as introduced, rock paint can also be drawn using various mediums.

However, if the count is smaller, the feeling of particle is too much and it is difficult to become a paint, so if you mix it with Arabi rubber, acrylic emulsion, or oil Medium, white is recommended from relatively fine No. 12 from the 12th.

This sample was also colored using number 12.

 

Asagi's "Asagi" is the young bud of green onion.

The delicate toning, which is thinner than indigo and darker than light blue, is attractive.

The Gunsei Katsumi Green is a greenery and gang -blue color. It reminds me that the indigo copper mining introduced at the beginning of this article is slightly green -blue depending on the atmosphere.

Light blue and black group blue are also exquisite. At a glance, it may look the same color, but it has a simple color unique to Kice.

Color material: Asagi Pao, Black Group blue

Utilizing the water resistance of the acrylic emulsion, you can also express painting by such layers.

 

The slightly opaque and artificial color surface produced by colored glass is the only texture that cannot be made with natural rock paint.

Shinwa paint can be regarded as another "new" rock paint rather than a natural alternative.

 

In addition to this, there are many other products with attractive names in the rock paint of Kichijo.
