Thoughts from Kathryn Bevier, our Colorist…
Kathryn holds an art degree from the Lyme
Academy, one of the top Fine Arts colleges in
the country. Kathryn oversees our paint production,
communicates with our retailers, manages
our educational and instructor programs and even
stars in our YouTube videos for consumers. Kathryn
is a true colorist at heart and is constantly testing
and evaluating new pigments.
“I’m especially drawn to the clean shades of olive
greens produced when Anthraquinone Orange is
mixed with our Phthalo Greens. When mixed with
the Phthalo Blues, I am immediately reminded of
colors you would see on the New England coast,
but the mix that was most beguiling to me was
when I mixed Anthraquinone Orange with Dioxazine
Purple, and might I add, with lots of medium to
make a complex, translucent purplish brown.”
Napthol Red has amazing
mixing and tinting qualities.
We added Naphthol Red and Bismuth Yellow to our
line because of their versatility. They offer a translucency
and color world that their Cadmium counterparts
don’t have. Many artists enjoy working with
a primary palette for color mixing and Enkaustikos
provides multiple options for this.
Some of our unique single pigment colors.

“It is hard not to get excited when experimenting
with color mixing. Quinacridone Gold enhances just
about anything it mixes with. Using Indian Yellow
in mixes with any of our blues will give you a wide
range of exotic greens, Anthraquinone Blue and
Quinacridone Magenta makes an exquisite purple,
and I could go on.”
While color mixing is a natural part of painting,
many artists often use our paint unmixed and so
colors like Bohemian Orange, Vagone Green or
Cobalt Aqua, to name just a few are perfect just as
they are. We really are passionate about color.
