"And now," says Henry, "the tertiary compound."

With great care and exactly as he has explained, I watch my friend let two perfect orbs of vermilion-hued fluid drip from the flask to the beaker—swirl the lot round—and then produce in the latter a most extraordinary effect.

"Gabriel!" Henry coughs against the ensuing billow of smoke. In a moment, he's enshrouded; but his voice is clear enough: "The window, man! Get the window!"

I run to it. And then to him. "My dear! Are you quite all right?"

He smiles. "Of course." And then: "Your gin and tonic, however..."

Been doing a scatter project with the leap day g1 dragon i hatched. The most recent scatter i got is Ivory/Vermilion/Ginger, and i.. can't decide if i like it or not. The primary/secondary are pretty good, but i find the tert hard to work with. Like there's some options, but they're still kinda meh for me. And the vermilion blaze is really pretty, but i think i'd almost rather just find another dragon with a different primary and tertiary color anyways. So

“Over the last decade, I have learned to appreciate the textures and rhythms of the later months of the year. Russet is the color of November in Maine. The color that emerges when all the more spectacular leaves have fallen: the yellow coins of the white birch, the big, hand-shaped crimson leaves of the red maple, the papery pumpkin-hued spears of the beech trees. The oaks are always the last to shed their plumage, and their leaves are the dullest color. They’re the darkest, the closest to brown. But if you pay attention, you’ll see that they’re actually quite pretty. Russet is a subtle color, complicated by undertones of orange and purple. Indeed, according to some color wheel systems, “russet” is the name given to the tertiary color created by mixing those two secondary colors. Its only companions in this category are slate (made from purple and green) and citron (made from green and yellow). Like russet, citron and slate occur often in the natural world. Our Earth is a blue marble if you get far enough away, but from up close, it’s so very brown, so often gray. This may explain why many cultures think of russet and similar dull reds as neutral hues, akin to the monochrome scale of white, black, and the innumerable shades between. True reds, the crimsons and vermilions and scarlets, have historically been associated with fire, blood, and power. In Red: The History of a Color, Michel Pastoureau explains that, for thousands of years, red was “the only true color.” He continues, “as much on the chronological as hierarchical level, it outstripped all others.” In ancient Greece, high priests and priestesses dressed in crimson, as did (they imagined) the gods themselves. In contrast, the dull reds, the brown reds, have been understood as “emblematic of peasantry and impoverishment,” claims Victoria Finlay in An Atlas of Rare & Familiar Colour. Finlay files red ocher among the browns—the ruddy pigment used in the caves of Lascaux—which is perhaps where it belongs. Perhaps that’s where russet belongs, too. […] It seems likely that russet, as a word, is an offshoot of red (Old French rousset from Latin russus, “reddish”). But russet means more than red-like, red-adjacent. Russet also means rustic, homely, rough. It also evokes mottled, textured, coarse. The word describes a quality of being that can affect people as well as vegetables. Apples can be russet, when they have brown patches on their skin. Potatoes famously are russet; their skin often has that strange texture that makes it impossible to tell where the earth ends and the root begins. There are russet birds and russet horses—it’s an earthy word that fits comfortably on many creatures. For Shakespeare, it was a color of poverty and prudence, mourning and morning. In Love’s Labour’s Lost, Biron imagines a life without the finer things, without silks and taffeta, a life of sacrifice undertaken to prove his love. The color of his penance? Russet. “and I here protest, By this white glove;—how white the hand, God knows!— Henceforth my wooing mind shall be express’d In russet yeas and honest kersey noes: And, to begin, wench,—so God help me, la!— My love to thee is sound, sans crack or flaw.” Just a few decades after this was written, in a country not too far away, Peter Paul Rubens was painting with brilliant crimson and shocking vermilion. Rubens was a devout Roman Catholic, a religion that embraced sumptuous fabrics and rich colors. A generation later, another northern painter would rise to prominence: Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. While Catholic Rubens loved shocking reds, rich blues, and even sunny yellows, Protestant Rembrandt painted with a far more restrained palette. Many of his most famous paintings (including his self portraits) are predominantly brown and gray. And when he did use color, Rembrandt very often reached for russet, auburn, fulvous, and tawny. Reds that leaned brown, and browns that leaned red. Sometimes, he brought in a splash of crimson to tell the viewer where they should focus (the vibrant sash in Night Watch, the cloaks in Prodigal Son), and sometimes he let soft, misty yellow light bathe his bucolic landscapes. His work was earthy, imbued with the quiet chill of early November […]” — Katy Kelleher, “Russet, the Color of Peasants, Fox Fur, and Penance” from The Paris Review

The Art of Color: How To Use Chinese Painting Pigments To Create Vibrant Masterpieces

Chinese painting is an age-old art form that emphasizes the harmony of colors, brush strokes, and the portrayal of nature, emotions, and stories. The pigments used in Chinese paintings are a significant aspect that brings life, depth, and vibrancy to each artwork. From delicate shades to bold hues, these pigments are designed to express the artist’s creativity and enhance the aesthetics of their creations.

If you’re an aspiring artist or a seasoned painter looking to explore traditional Chinese painting pigments, you’ve come to the right place. This blog will walk you through different techniques and methods to help you create vibrant masterpieces using Chinese pigments, while also guiding you towards the best tools and pigments available.

1. Understanding the Basics of Chinese Painting Pigments

Chinese painting pigments are derived from natural minerals and plants, providing unique textures and tones that are difficult to replicate with synthetic colors. These pigments are known for their high saturation and opacity, making them ideal for creating both delicate details and intense color washes.

The primary colors used in Chinese painting include vermilion, indigo, yellow, and ink. These pigments can be blended to produce a wide range of secondary and tertiary colors. Understanding the composition of these pigments helps you appreciate the depth and subtlety they bring to your work, allowing you to experiment with different shades and effects.

2. Choosing the Right Brushes and Paper for Pigments

The right choice of brushes and paper can significantly impact how your pigments appear on the canvas. Chinese painting traditionally employs soft-bristle brushes, which allow for flexibility and precision in strokes. These brushes work harmoniously with the pigments, allowing you to create delicate lines or bold strokes with ease.

Equally important is the choice of paper. Xuan paper, known for its absorbent properties, is the preferred choice for traditional Chinese paintings. Its texture complements the pigments, allowing them to blend seamlessly and produce vibrant gradients. This combination of paper and pigments is key to creating depth and dimension in your artwork.

3. Mastering Techniques for Applying Pigments

To create captivating paintings, it’s essential to master techniques for applying Chinese pigments. One popular technique is layering, where pigments are gradually built up to achieve a rich and vibrant effect. This method requires patience, as each layer must dry before applying the next, but the results are worth the effort.

Another technique is wet-on-wet, where pigments are applied to a wet surface, allowing them to blend and flow naturally. This technique is perfect for creating backgrounds, water scenes, or depicting the flow of air and mist. Experimenting with these techniques will help you understand how different pigments react and how to manipulate them to achieve your desired results.

4. Creating Depth and Dimension with Pigments

Depth and dimension are key to making your paintings stand out. By using a combination of light and dark pigments, you can create stunning contrasts that give your artwork a three-dimensional effect. Darker pigments can be used to outline or shade, while lighter pigments help create highlights and illuminate your subject.

When working with Chinese pigments, it’s essential to pay attention to the balance between light and dark. By understanding how each pigment interacts with the paper and how they layer on top of each other, you can create captivating pieces that draw the viewer’s eye and tell a compelling visual story.

5. Mixing Traditional Pigments for Modern Creations

While traditional Chinese painting is deeply rooted in history, modern artists are finding innovative ways to mix these traditional pigments with contemporary techniques. By experimenting with new methods, you can create unique and vibrant pieces that combine the beauty of traditional Chinese art with modern aesthetics.

Try mixing traditional pigments with watercolors or acrylics to achieve a fusion of old and new. Incorporate modern subjects into your paintings while using traditional brushwork and pigments to give them a fresh and exciting twist. This approach not only keeps the tradition alive but also opens up new avenues of creativity for artists today.

I maintain that, being a tertiary color, indigo has as much right to be a listed “rainbow color” as cyan. Or burgundy. Or chartreuse. Or vermilion. Or amber.

There are 7 accepted colours of the rainbow and 2 of them are purple

Tertiary Rainbow!

Magenta | Vermilion | Amber | Lime | Cyan | Indigo

Here the six neglected tertiary colors get their time to shine. Tertiary colors lie between secondary and primary ones. This spectrum makes a fun alternative to the common rainbow and has become my favorite 6-striped version. When going through daily life don’t forget to notice the tertiary colors all around. 🌈

In English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian & Chinese.

The tertiary rainbow encourages us to see colors outside the basic crayon box.

I'm taking this very seriously.
