VantaBlack's paint form VBX2 is pretty sexy, but Musou Black is downright seductive.

It looks like Chalcanthite, a copper sulfate used for lead mining I think. its beautiful... but sure not $180 beautiful in my opinion

that vanta black also, uber pricey stuff. It irks me since Im a typical broke artist who cant afford these supplies and would love more midnight black definition and some electric blue, who wouldnt?

My favorite colors will always be cadmium med red, cadmium light green, permanent green and cobalt blue, in oils that is. Using acrylics I just fake what I love doing in oils

I often wonder if there are different universes with completely different core elements, hence completely different gasses and colors? What if there exists a spectrum of colors that has 4-5 base and dozens of secondary colors?

What if mars is a giant ball of art supplies just waiting to be discovered?

Yes please I want some. I paint almost entirely with shades of blue, occasionally a splash of greenish blue.
