Thank you so much for making this series of videos. Well done, and packed with great detail and information. If you ever want to make a video about where to buy supplies from Canada, I would be so grateful.
Thank you so much for this video!!❤ I watched my mom paint with this type of powder pigment and glue but because I was so young I can’t remember how to do it. She has passed away and I want to use this way of mixing my paint like my mother. This video was greatly helpful and appreciated. 😊
I hope you are well. I have watched all of your videos now and have enjoyed every one! You have a gift for teaching. I hope you will do more videos on Nihonga and maybe some videos that showcase various Japanese artist products.
Yet another stupid question, but are some pigments at risk of changing color or deteriorating if exposed to heat even when it's on a painting? I suppose I am asking from a watercolor background where some pigments will change or fade even if exposed to a little sunlight (the lightfastness) and wonder if nihonga pigments have a similar risk with sun and/or heat. With that, I am curious if this means there is concern is a painting is exposed to a lot of heat for whatever reason like a very hot day/very hot room or something. And coming from a western perspective; it is often the responsibility of the artist to choose durable materials for the painting to last long in case the owner of the painting is careless. Eastern responsibility expectations seem to be opposite in which the owner of the painting is expected to care for the piece and therefore the artist can use as strong or delicate of materials as they like. I like what seem to be the eastern expectations approach more, but unfortunately western expectations are still more dominant where I live in what materials are made from and how they work and therefore wonder how durability works in a medium I am unfamiliar with.
hi miss Kiyo. Where did you buy your gunjo? What number particle size is it? The blue is spectacular! I have a few different gunjo, but none have that bright color.
@@KIYOHASEGAWA Thank you. I made some gunjo in the past few days. After different phases of grinding, levigating, drying, and repeating the steps, I was able to isolate a fine particle of the electric blue. I like to make my own pigments, to understand the process. It's also nice to be able to buy one I like! My new favorite that I made are from petrified wood, and also rhodochrosite. Thank you for your kind instruction!
