Technical Data:

Pigment: PV 49 | Series: 3
Lightfastness: I – Excellent
Transparency: Transparent
Staining: 1-Non-Staining
Granulation: Granulating

COBALT VIOLET

Cobalt Violet  is a non-staining, granulating pigment that comes alive as it is layered, creating soft edges and building from a light purple to a more complex violet at full strength.  
 What is a Sedimentary Color?
Sedimentary pigments include the earth pigments, Indian Red, Ultramarine Blue and Violet, Cerulean Blue, Cadmium Orange, Cobalt Green and Cobalt Violet, among others. Artist Caroline Buchanan elaborates, saying when a sedimentary pigment is glazed over the top of a staining first wash, its grains separate slightly allowing the staining pigment to shine through, adding that in the same sense two notes played together are more interesting, a sedimentary color played with staining pigment creates a chord of color and luminosity.

From the article: Caroline Buchanan: Making Sense of Staining, Sedimentary and Transparent Pigments on Daniel Smith's website.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
