Case for Making CfM Ruby

An ultra-bright synthetic! Like all our fluorescents, this fun glowy red is opaque and super smooth. Fluorescents absorb invisible UV light energy and reemit it at a higher visible wavelength. This enhances the appearance of the pigment, delivering those eye-catching, radiant colors we love! Fluorescents are also fantastic for mixing a bit of brightness into core colors. Let the party begin! Important Notes on Fluorescents!: The amazing neon qualities of fluorescents are difficult to capture in a scan or photograph.

An expanded version of our Ultra-Blends 8-color set ! This exciting collection was inspired by our OG color-separating blend, CfM Riverbed . We wanted to try our hand at making even more layered colors—and once we got going, we couldn't stop! Team members were texting ideas, swatches and color scraps covered our work tables, and our resident poets began thinking up fun names . . . while in the span of a week two colors turned into three which turned into seven . . . you get the idea! CfM Ultra-Blends are custom colors with endless possibilities!

A deep reddish-pink synthetic formulated to simulate the characteristics of the mineral pigment Vermilion, without the use of mercury. This lovely core color is highly opaque and smooth. True Vermilion is a brilliant red pigment with a rich history of use around the world, from Ancient Rome’s decorative arts, to illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, to lacquerware in China since the Song dynasty. Vermillion was even used as a cosmetic rouge in ancient West Asia.

A cool, deep purple-brown natural earth pigment with high opacity, lightfastness, and a very consistent and smooth texture with a matte finish. At its most opaque, it's just slightly metallic, thanks to its high concentration of hematite. The pigments we use to make these colors are specific to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountain range. Natural earth pigments have been mined from this region since the mid-1800's, and we think these colors are still unrivaled in intensity and richness.

This is perhaps the richest ochre we've made yet, with the most consistent and smooth texture.

Natural earth pigments have been mined from this region since the mid-1800's, and we think these colors are still unrivaled in intensity and richness.

This rich blue is in a category all its own—its depth and range exceeds any other color we can think of! Compared with Synthetic Indigo , our Genuine Indigo is a bit more textured and deeper in tone. Both are fantastic for layering, glazing, and color mixing (a little bit goes a long way!) and are wonderfully opaque at full saturation. Genuine Indigo is derived from the Indigofera tinctoria plant through a fermentation process, and further refined to achieve greater saturation and intensity.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 6:30pm - 8:30pm PT This is an in-person workshop at CfM Art Room: 4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop! Ever stood in front of a painting wishing you had your paints with you? This workshop was born from exactly that feeling. We'll use projected abstract artworks as our reference and build a color map together -- a kind of paint-by-numbers where the "numbers" are your own personal notes about the colors you see.

Saturday, July 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Mother Nature continues to be one of our best muses! Butterflies have been a popular motif historically in art and design, perhaps for their fleeting beauty and fragility, and watercolour is the perfect medium to explore their iridescent wings. In this session we’ll be studying butterflies & moths and observing their wide range of patterns and textures - their symmetry allows for repetition and practicing techniques.
