Testimonials

門田 光雅

Mitsumasa Kadota (Painter)

[Iridescence] is wonderful acrylic paint with an overwhelming fascination. It is characterized by the changing tone and glow of color when viewed from different angles, which is innovative in terms of combining the diversity of color with color saturation. Therefore it is indispensable for my painting creation to seek for a new frontier. It is easy to handle because it is water-based and durable after being dried. Combinations of painting methods are countless due to the properties of the 10 colors. Iridescence is paint through which rich creativity and brilliant fluctuation of colors create various sensations and stimulate the pursuit of challenging expressions.

弓手 研平

Kenpei Yunde (Painter)

The Yunde-style painting uses color materials with high color saturation, such as acrylic colors [fluid], acrylic [ink], pastels, and oil pastels, on an acrylic base. For the finish, [Iridescence] Chromashine® is applied. The otherworldly luster that brilliantly stands out even on a massively painted surface can add depth to artwork with its graceful color saturation and intensity just like moonlight in the clear night sky. Iridescence is a special tool as "an ace in the hole" for Yunde-style Impressionistic drawings produced by the unconventional use of painting media.

菊池 遼

Ryo Kikuchi (Artist)

This is created by silkscreen using acrylic paint, and crystal varnish is applied to the surface for the mirror finishing. This artwork made use of the polarizing effect of [Iridescence] by which color tones change when viewed from different angles in order to express changing time in your imagination. I like the color of chromapearl red because it looks like the changing dusk sky. [Iridescence] enabled me to broaden the scope of expression and concept for my artwork.

中西 學

Manabu Nakanishi (Modern artist)

The "Northern Lights Series," inspired by the flowing form of the Northern Lights, is made by aluminum casting (the base is cast in bronze) from a resin prototype.
After the fabric was cleaned, primer and other primer treatments were applied to the surface, then airbrushed with acrylic paint gradations and additions, sprayed with [Iridescence] Chroma Pearl Yellow, and finished with a gloss burnish to protect the surface.
Iridescence is the best paint for expressing the mysterious brilliance of the Northern Lights.

[Iridescence] gives another gorgeous feeling that is different from traditional metallic color paints and pearl paints, and looks also great even when used for highlights. It is not only beautiful as acrylic paint when it is applied thickly but also has presence when used on watercolor paint. The gradation produced by using multiple opaque Chromashine® colors is also otherworldly and beautiful. The colors produced by mixing transparent chromapearl paints appear to shine white, which is also beautiful and fun to look at.

紙透 みふ

Mifuu Oda (Painter)

It is nice in terms of color saturation and glossiness, so I often use it for highlighting hair and eyes. It sparkles when held up to the light, which makes you enjoy the beauty unique to original painting. In addition, I love the fact that it does not crack even when it is thickly applied, and the gradations created by multiple Iridescence paints are very beautiful. I feel it is pleasant to produce glitter paints by mixing Iridescence with other paints.
