This beautiful pigment I’m working with today is Pyrrole Orange PO73. It’s a DPP pigment from @kremerpigmente , which stands for di-keto-pyrollo-pyrrol. It’s more opaque than other organic pigments but can still be used for beautiful washes in watercolor. 

The Pyrrole pigments are great and non toxic alternatives for the lead molybdate and cadmiums with in the red/orange pigment options. From the Kremer website: ‘’Because of growing concern about possible health hazards related to the use of cadmium pigments in the coatings industry, chemical companies have long sought after a possible organic substitute.’’

This PO73 is a great solution for those concerns. It’s the most chromatic pigment currently known. Chroma means how much color (or wavelengths) it reflects. It’s not an orange pigment with the highest value, or what we would consider as a ‘’brighter’’ orange. For me, I’d like Benzimidazolone PO62 for that. Which is more towards the yellow side of the spectrum, whereas PO73 is more of a scarlet-orange, leaning towards the red side of the spectrum. This is also visible in it’s spectral reflectance curve which I make in the video post of this color. Hue wise, is very close to PO43, Perinone Orange, which is just a little less chromatic and less lightfast. #handmadewatercolors #handmadeartsupplies #artsupplies #handmadepaint #makingcolors #handmade #watercolor #art #paint #orange #artistquality #color #po73 #warm #pyrroleorange #deep #singlepigment #lightfast #pyrrol #beautiful #artisan #etsy #kalligrafie #gumarabic #honey #watercolorlove #watercolorpalette #wasserfarben #pigment #aquarelle (bij Dirty Blue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CicXPsJLQ4Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

quarto tentativo di sumi: macinato per un'ora finalmente la consistenza e finezza sono giuste, anche se potrebbe essere ancora più fine. Questa volta ne ho fatto un bel barattolino vediamo quanto mi dura #makingsumi #sumi #memento #black #nero #pigment #makingcolors #mokuhanga #japanesewoodblock #xilografiagiapponese (at Centro Storico di Avigliana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAdjQ2IeZs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mixing up some orange. Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics paints act the most like oil paint (in terms of thickness). // #painting #mixingpaint #paintmixing #makingcolors #orange #satisfying #paint #color #liquitex #liquitexacrylics #painter #KendraAldrichArts

This rare and extinct (discontinued) pigment is part of my Extinct Pigment Project. It’s a natural looking warm green, with average poor lightfastness. As a single pigment, Sap Green, or Nitroso Green PG8, a Synthetic Organic Azo, is quite a unique color in it’s properties. It’s comparable to Phthalo Green Yellow shade but darker, more towards a black in mass tone. It has quite a large drying shift, meaning it loses chroma when it dries on paper. The name Sap Green originally comes from the lake pigment made from unripe buckthorn berries. In medieval times, the pigment wasn’t sold as a dry powder but are a syrup-like substance, made from evaporated sap, that was sold and kept in animal bladders. The process of making this was written down by Cennino Cennini, known for his book, Il Libro Dell’Arte. The color however, faded very easily and was later replaced by either similar substitute single pigments, like this, or a mix of Prussian Blue and still-de-grain, the latter was eventually replaced by Gamboge by mister Hooker, a mix now better known as Hooker’s Green. This Sap Green (and many of it’s name relatives) is a beloved color for landscapes and anything in nature. It mixes beautifully natural greens when combines with earth colors. #handmadewatercolors #handmadeartsupplies #artsupplies #handmadepaint #makingcolors #handmade #watercolor #mineral #paint #artistquality #extinctpigment #color #hookersgreen #bright #pg8 #sapgreen #green #singlepigment #rare #beautiful #artisan #light #watercolorpainting #gumarabic #colorful #watercolorlove #watercolorpalette #natural #pigment (bij Dirty Blue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CicLPZeLYo3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
