Hematite genuine (Patreon)

Today I wanted to talk with you about hematite genuine by Daniel Smith (actually having a quick break from painting commissions and artwork for artbook, wanted to share it with you). I got it in primatek set last December but haven't had a chance to use it until today. Here it is

It's the MOST granulated color I ever had, when you want to do something unusual it will literally do all work for you. And it like dissolves getting a nice warm undertone. But it's extremely hard for me to use this color, I can't explain well why. Maybe because it's close to black and sepia but I'm always use cold blacks like payne's gray or indigo.

But today I painted the second artwork for steampunk artbook (deadline is too close ohh) and decided to use it as a main color. I can't show the full artwork until the con there it will be on sale, so here's some parts to just show how this color works (it's not even lined yet, I'm showing it only to you now hehehe).

There was a yellow-red undertone before so you can't see how it dissolves but the granulation is just OHHHH like magic

But i don't think I will buy another tube of this because it's a very special color, I use it too occasionally (and the full size tube is pricey af)

Okay I'm going back to work now~
