Traditionally Carmine is a dye derived from the cochineal beetle. That place looks like artist's wonderland!

[joanramsey]

All those colours were like food for the brain!

[Robertscorner]

Carmine is a historical pigment made from the cochineal beetle, a common name is crimson lake. It has and is used in everything from food to cosmetics to oil paint to being a traditional fabric dye. When used in food it is known as red number 4. It is a fugitive pigment and has largely been replaced by red number 40 in food and by synthetic red pigments like Anthraquinone and Pyrrole in paints.

Owe. Mai. GAWD!!!! Candy store indeed! Kaiteki Art is a Japanese artist here on YouTube. She has some videos where she makes her own paint with these pigments, glue binder, etc. It's fascinating!

[clemclimacosa]

Clara’s excitement is so contagious! Not a traditional artist but I feel like going in that store would convince me to become one with how pretty the paints look (LOVE the pearlescent ones she got)

[snowqueen_]

I would love to go there to see the beautiful pigments and supplies

[SuzanneLegault]

Wow, there should be a warning on the door "if you are gravy about color, think of expanding your credit limit or skipping a mortgage payment before you enter" 😊

[prettybyaccident]

I want to All the nice brushes lined up made me salivate! My sad Micheal s has the 3 straggly watercolor brushes every time I go.

[hannabordewijk]

You made me smile!!! what a wonderful (art-shopping) world !

[AmberwingArt]

Those flat brushes that you showed are called Deerfoot brushes and they're used for creating natural looking foliage. They're amazing!

[laureendavis]

That wall of pigments... I paused the video to stare at it. It's so.. so... everything! And me stuck in a city that has a Michaels and a Hobby Lobby and that's it.

[iam_karla]

I can spend an entire day on this wonderland.

[elKachivache]

I would go crazy in there. Thank you for sharing!

[leslieg]

omg, I could watch that all Three minutes is torture! MORE! omg!

[DainesDwelling]

Carmine is the main pigment used for red in makeup. I’ve felt conflicted about putting crushed beetles on my face for a while now 😅

[nancyloomis]

Gobsmacked! The pigments are incredible...but the brushes...oh my...I figure for any one of those large Hake brushes, you'd be parting with some serious cash! 😮

[ladygwarth]

That place is amazing. There are no art shops near me anymore, online only, so I dread to think what I would do let loose in there 😂😂.

[romywhite]

This shop is incredible and you're adorable.

[niksiever]

I’m going to this shop tomorrow. Thanks for the video.

[elizabethzaffarano]

Just went on my list for our September trip! I’d love to look at the gold leaf tools and all of those brushes!!
