Turner Acryl Gouache Japanesque 12 Colour Set 20 ml Tubes

Product Information

You can achieve various grayish expression as you like. Quiet tones that will not make your work too dark are offered. They are smooth like butta’. One touch of the brush and serious pigment is loaded. Very rich, and very moody. They blend nicely and lift easily. A mixing area is definitely required. They seem similar in consistency of the popular Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints, but do not leave the same sheen once dry. They dry matte. There might be larger sets out there that also include these colors. I can be found on Intagram- @jessicaseacrest where I’m usually sharing something, and sneak peeks of future items for review show up from time to time. Colors have a rich cultural significance in Japan, and their meaning and symbolism can vary depending on the context. Here are some examples: Most names of colors originate from the names of plants, flowers, and animals that bore or resembled them. Certain colors and dyeing techniques have been used since the Asuka period, while others had been developed as late as the Meiji period when synthetic dyes became common. Due to the long history of use of this color system, some variations in color and names exist.

DOODLEWASH REVIEW: Boku-Undo E-Sumi Watercolor Set + Gansai

The artwork which is featured on the front of the set is titled ‘Baku’ and after reading about the origins of the title of the name, it would appear that Baku is otherwise known as the ‘dream eater’ and is a mythological being or spirit in Chinese and Japanese folklore which is said to devour nightmares. The baku cannot be summoned without caution, however, as ancient legends say that if the baku is not satisfied after consuming the nightmare, he may also devour one’s hopes and dreams. In fact, the Japanese word for 茶 (cha) means tea.They have to be put together with the word “色 (iro colors) to become nouns for yellow and brown. As a result, when they become adjectives, they are “黄色い” and “茶色い” instead “黄い” or “茶い” Blue and Green: 青い Green:Green is the color of nature and is often associated with growth, fertility, and new beginnings. It is also the color of youth and vitality. Now, imagine spring. Flowers blooming, the small, light green leaves of the blossoming cherry and plum trees filling in the gaps between the beautiful white, pink, and purple flower petals. Marigolds and willows popping up in between balance out this Japanese spring palette.Collaborating with Turner Colour Works, this set has been specifically chosen by the artist as it features colours which he loves and works with in the majority of his paintings. Formulated with fine powders, Japanesque Colours have a unique texture. They can be used as a dye, blended, scratched into and painted over while remaining opaque. The Japanesque colours offer a traditional Japanese Colour Palette and give an incredible intensity and surface quality of a gouache with the drying properties of an acrylic (i.e. not being rewettable)

Why do we use の instead of な? For the answer, head to our article on the dilemma of な-adjectives and の-adjectives. Japanese Colors as AdjectivesIf you feel that the basic colors are too general, here are some Japanese words for more specific colors. English Turner Japanesque colours are an extension to the Turner Acryl Gouache range, inspired by Japanese traditional paintings, or 'Nihonga', which are typically executed on Japanese paper or silk.

Formulated with fine powders, Japanesque has a unique coarse texture, and sophisticated and beautiful Japanese tones of 45 traditional colours. And the most interesting of them all and I love it- Yupo! I feel this is what they look best on. This paper, it’s an adventure for sure, kind of just have to let it do what it wants to do. Guest Doodlewasher, Michele May described it as a balance between control and chaos, which is an apt description of using Yupo. Neo Nihonga was proposed as a means for interrupting the post-Meiji concept of nihonga, and breaking free from the hierarchical structure that has been dominating the Japanese art world since the modern age, and at the same time, as a possible alternative ground in the discussion of Japanese contemporary art history.The same can be seen in other basic color wheels. Kuro (くろ) and shiro (しろ) are used to describe things that are dark and light — cool and warm. The word あか covers a spectrum of dark red, orange and yellow, with lighter yellow colors grouped to しろ. Ki (黄) paints in shades of yellow, gold and lighter brown. Murasaki (むらさき) was once a name of a plant but eventually became a color name for purple, too. The cultural significance of colors in Japan is complex and multifaceted. Colors can be used to convey a wide range of emotions and meanings, depending on the context. For example, the color red can be used to express love, happiness, or anger, depending on the situation.
