40 high-quality monochrome colour plates on paper

This book is not about the blending of colours or the search for colour schemes or laws. What I’m interested in is the purity of the pigments and dyes used. I aim to understand how to show a dye to its best advantage, which binder I have to use to achieve the best results.

I regard this edition of 40 colour plates not as part of my art, but as part of my craft. They comprise 40 high-quality Kremer pigments produced to an excellent design painted with simple bristle brushes. Clear, monochrome colour plates, but no images.
