The brilliant history of cobalt blueDid you know

The brilliant history of cobalt blueDid you know that cobalt blue has been coloring our world for centuries? This rich, deep pigment was first used in ancient China for blue-and-white porcelain as early as the 8th century. But it wasn’t until 1802 that cobalt blue was officially discovered and synthesized by French chemist Louis Jacques Thénard.Valued for its intense, stable hue, cobalt blue quickly became a favorite among artists.Unlike other blue pigments, cobalt blue doesn’t fade over time — making it a true classic in both art and design. 💎#pedrocuni #cunicolours #ArtHistory #CobaltBlue #ColorStory #PigmentHistory #ArtLovers #BlueIsTheColor

Bold and relaxed all at once — this stunning ske

Bold and relaxed all at once — this stunning sketch by Adele Wagstaff, painted with Cuni colours, features a male figure sprawled effortlessly in an armchair. His pose is pure ease, but the brushstrokes are anything but calm — energetic, expressive, and full of life. Contrasting colors bring tension and depth to the moment of stillness. A beautiful balance between rest and raw energy.@AdeleWagstaff #FigureSketch #WatersolubleEncaustic #ExpressiveArt #cunicolours #coldwax #coldwaxpainting #encaustic #beeswaxpainting

Who needs a sky when you've got Phthalo Blue?You

Who needs a sky when you've got Phthalo Blue?You’ve probably caked it on your palette, bled it into your brushes, and cursed when it went too intense—but let’s be honest, that rich, almost-electric blue is a total game-changer. Born in the ’30s, Phthalo Blue (aka copper phthalocyanine PB‑15) stormed into artists’ studios like a rock star—lightfast, high‑tinting, and endlessly mixable.
A little dab blends into dreamy teals or deep violets.  A lot? Blue domination—your skies will glow, your oceans will pop.  Tip: This stuff’s potent—start small, add white for balance or go bold and let it sing#phthaloblue #cunicolours #watersolubleencaustic #encaustic #coldwax #beeswaxpainting #loveblue

Meet green cinnabar — the unexpected twist on the classic red pigment. Rare, moody, and a bit mysterious, this green beauty showed up in ancient works when chemistry got weird (and wonderful).Green cinnabar wasn’t made on purpose at first — it sometimes formed through chemical reactions. But later, alchemists tried to recreate it. Why? Because it glowed with a depth regular greens couldn’t match.
Pigment or potion? You decide.#PigmentHistory #GreenCinnabar #AlchemyInArt #GreenCinnabarMagic #cunicolours #watersolubleencaustic #coldwax #coldwaxpainting #beeswaxpainting

Pompeii relives its last day: Discoveries in the H

Pompeii relives its last day: Discoveries in the House of Helle and Phrixus reveal a desperate attempt at survival.The scene is heartbreaking—a bed placed crosswise to block the entrance to a bedroom, a desperate gesture by its occupants to protect themselves from the rain of lapilli—fragments of volcanic rock—that fell mercilessly during the initial phases of the eruption. Nearby, the remains of at least four individuals, including a child, whose bulla—a bronze amulet worn by Roman boys until adulthood—lies as a silent testimony to a life cut short.The name of the domus comes from a mural found in the triclinium, depicting the Greek myth of Phrixus and Helle. The masterfully rendered scene captures the tragic moment when Helle, sister of Phrixus, falls into the sea during their escape on the back of the winged ram Chrysomallos.Like other mural paintings in Pompeii, the House of Helle and Prixius was probably painted using the water soluble encaustic technique.#watersolubleencaustic #pompei #romanpainting #coldwaxpainting #beeswaxpainting

These two enigmatic works offer but a glimpse into the depth and bold originality of C.R. Gill’s vision.@catalyst_artworks @eleanorcrooksculpture #cunicolours #watersolubleencaustic #beeswaxpainting #coldwaxpainting #encaustic

We love the new tiny icon by artist Alypius Loft!

We love the new tiny icon by artist Alypius Loft! 🎨✨ His creativity is perfectly reflected in this design, capturing the very essence of his art. We’re fascinated by how he plays with colours, shapes, and details to create something truly special.We feel honored by the use of Cuní colors in the creation of icons, following the ancient tradition of using water soluble encaustic in sacred art.Icons were an important part of the Byzantine Christian Church from the 3rd century CE onwards. Venerated in churches, public places, and private homes, they were often believed to have protective properties.@alypiusloft #watersolubleencaustic #cunicolours #cuni #encaustic #coldwax #beeswaxpainting #byzantine #icon

Archaeologists unearth huge wall painting in Pompe

Archaeologists unearth huge wall painting in Pompeii that portrays scenes from the ancient Dionysian mystery cults that were popular in the classical world. This life-sized frieze was found at the House of Thiasus.The remarkably well-preserved painting dates back to the first century BC and is being called one of the most important artistic finds in Pompeii in over a century, with experts comparing it to the famous Villa of the Mysteries paintings.An interesting detail lies in the fact that all the figures in the frieze are standing on pedestals as if they were statues, but at the same time, their movements, complexions and clothing make them seem more like living figures.#pompei #wallpainting #watersolubleencaustic #beeswaxpainting #mural #romanempire
