Recently launched work: Flying Pig Coatings

Flying Pig Coatings color palette.

It’s rare to create a color palette from scratch. In some cases the sky is the limit. I prefer having some sort of parameters, whether self imposed or present due to technical attributes of some sort. The Flying Pig paint palette is one such project that was dictated by the materials. Flying Pig Coatings is a new paint technology made from acrylic-cement using only iron oxide pigments to impart color. If you are up on your art history you will know that iron oxide pigments do not include blue. This was a fun challenge. How do you achieve green? Can you have a standard palette without a blue? How blue does it have to be to be considered blue?
