Lorrain transparent water based Paints in Kyoto Japan

Testing the Paint

 I normally use a male paint like a WN Gouche Paint to start a Painting and then follow it with watercolour paint, the small hand full I have listed as Female Paint.

As on my website in my new book "Painting with Edward" I write in section 2 on Method,  That Male Paint is first and then Female Paint is second. The paint goes on in a sequence of Yellow followed by Red, which is followed by Blue. This is for Male Paint  as well again for Female Paint.

Lorrain Paints seem to completely out perform WN paints both the Gouache and the Watercolour range. I have developed my whole understanding of the Female Element of Composition from The WN range of Paint since 1982, for some 28 years. Lorrain Paint is a significant range of paint for the Female Element of Composition found in Japan. It is Female Paint. It stains reliably, it flocculates when flooded with water, when dry it can be flooded and the paint laid down does not move again. The translucency is consistent without the usual muddiness developing. Every pigment has these female characteristics.The pigments are strong and can be used as a male paint on dry paper. The readily replace the roll of Gouache.

Lorrain Paint has very finely ground pigments, ground cool between granite rollers without experiencing the hotter stainless steel rollers and possible over heating of the ingredients. Mixed with Oyster Shell for calcium and Gum Arabic from Sudan means high Chroma and high Translucency. The paint is very reliable and stains permanently. The quality is very high. It can sustain an enormous amount in the wet environment. It is very suitable for my wet in wet work. The medium is a strong glue that rebinds itself to the next wash. I can flood the paper again and again building my complexity and powerful Female Element in the composition with every colour in their range. My struggle has been to find the Female paint in my western world.



To achieve the Female Element of Composition effortlessly this paint is needed.

Thank you Lorrain Co. in Kyoto, Japan.

This is the colour wheel:

 

Yellow is first and Red and Blue went over the top

Apart from WN Madder, Red never floculates like this with so much chroma:
