These artist-grade materials consist of finely ground pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder. They are applied to paper or other surfaces with a brush, offering a transparent and luminous quality. For example, a landscape painting created with these materials demonstrates the medium’s ability to capture subtle variations in light and color.
The appeal of this particular medium lies in its versatility, portability, and the unique effects achievable. Historically, it has been favored by artists for sketching, illustration, and detailed work. The transparent nature allows for layering and glazing, creating depth and vibrancy, making it ideal for both detailed studies and expressive washes.
