Special effects from pigments and finishes

There are some effects of materials that can only be seen in person. As you walk past a metallic surface, the play of light changes. A still image can't do that. As your eye travels over the surface of a painting, you catch varying levels of gloss. When the lights go out, or the black lights come on, some colours behave differently. I guess you had to be there.

• phosphorescence
• gloss and matte finishes
• metallic colours
• iridescent or interference colours
• fluorescent colours
• painting in layers

Loosely translated, that means:
"Please don't copy this material or redistribute it in some other form, for any reason. This is my livelihood."
