Thanks for the link Darius.

Daniel Smith and his wonderful company, has, over the past several years, 
put out a series of pure pigment watercolors which I find fascinating and 
of interest. They are aquareous watercolor rather than gouache or body 
color but I think it's interesting.  Over the last couple of months, I have 
slowly been gathering pure pigment powder from Sinopia for attempting some 
egg tempera.

I found another article on line that  talks about the glass beads used in 
oil painting as a technique for adding color and light to a painting.  the 
article you sent talks about it to a degree but that was a surprise to me.

Thanks for sharing!
