Loving the subtle differences between natural mineral pigments and Shin-iwa (artificial mineral pigments). While the Shin-iwa pigment produces a vibrant orange-red, I found it overly saturated. To balance this, I softened the intensity by layering a natural cadmium red pigment on the feather tips, creating a more harmonious effect. #mineralpigments #nihonga #岩彩 #asianartist #asianart
