We should take no joy or satisfaction from creativity that involves destruction or exploitation. All our decisions have environmental and social impact and we have ignored this for too long now!

Use Nature As Your Paint Playground “I’ve pretty much got today what artists have been using for literally a few millennia,” he says, referencing his paint studio’s 102-colour offering. Recalling his days as a photography restoration assistant and the similar colours he used back then, he adds that if it “was enough pigment to restore 500 years of art,” then it’s surely enough to produce the paint colours “needed to hang that art on top of.” Having trouble choosing colour?

'Malahide' and 'Jonquil' by @farstud.o “Cooked earth or terracotta, as we know it, is one of the oldest building materials. The colour derives from the heating of the natural pigmentation in the earth. Earth is a different colour around the world and for millennia, we’ve used it to make pigment – usually those that are rich in iron ore and give us red and yellow ochres. These earth pigments are ideal for creating the most pleasing and flattering blush pinks, so essentially terracotta and blush derive from the same source, which is why they can be used together so successfully.” Edward Bulmer read more Jonquil Order a Sample Malahide Order a Sample Spanish White Order a Sample Wanting to learn more about colour?
