Capture the Essence of Sedona
Introduction For countless generations, Sedona has been a source of inspiration for creative souls. The vast expanse of ancient sands, interspersed with sagebrush, stands in striking contrast to the towering red rock formations. These red spires against the clear blue sky create a scene of profound beauty and wonder.
Historical and Mineral Background The captivating red of Sedona Genuine connects us to the ancient inhabitants who first marveled at this landscape 11,000 years ago. Following a recent journey to the Southwest, we were inspired to craft paint from the rocks of Sedona. This authentic pigment, sourced directly from the Arizona desert, is lightfast, richly pigmented, and enduringly permanent, linking your art to the timeless craftsmanship of southwestern artisans.
Product Specifications
Unique Features Our Sedona Genuine pigment, sourced from the iconic rocks of Sedona, captures the region's awe-inspiring beauty. This watercolor's semi-transparent, non-staining properties and striking granulation make it perfect for a variety of artistic techniques, from detailed landscapes to expressive abstracts.
Swatching Process Our chemist starts with a mix of 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) on the palette. The top half of the swatch is painted uniformly with a round brush to showcase the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, a ¾” flat brush is dipped into the paint well once and then used to create stripes until the brush is dry, demonstrating the color’s tone and behavior in a wash. These swatches are essential for color matching during production.
Creative Applications Ideal for capturing the dramatic landscapes and natural splendor of the Southwest, this watercolor offers versatility in both layering and blending. The granulating effect enhances texture and depth, making it suitable for both intricate details and broad, abstract strokes.
