Holographic pigments are made from vaporizing metals and letting them deposit on a substrate that is then granulated. The granules are of different sizes, so a glitter or metal flake that has been disintegrated will be passed through different sized meshes to get grades. Your typical glitter is measured in millimeters but holographic dust used in cosmetics is measured in micrometers, from 15um to around 75um. This size is very fine, allowing it to easily adhere to surfaces and align, giving you that linear holographic stratification of light that you see similarly on diffraction grating. This same principle is applied to "duochrome" pigments, a term that loosely applies to a variety of different diffraction effects and material processes.

I love that you’re a “geeky” artist in that you are curious about and understand the science behind the art supplies.

You screaming “what are you made of??” at color shifting paint is such a mood

I bought some of these paints and while they look gorgeous in the sales videos, I haven’t been able to reproduce that effect on watercolor paper. If I hold the paper just right and move it around, I can see the pretty colors. Otherwise they look brownish and dull. 😩

Hello. Thank you so much for explaining this. I was wondering also how peoples art work comes out holographic. Love your videos!

Usually it's a film that gets put on a print by the manufacturer. If you want to see more about that, I have a video called "designing a holographic sticker"!

🤩 Have you ever scanned your art work that you've used holographic paint on? Just wondering if it's even possible to capture the holographic part at all!
@madameberry2 жыл бұрын
The paint definitely shows up, but it doesn't have nearly the same effect as it would in real life where you can move it around in the light. If you check my Twitter (@madameberry) I just posted some scans for you to look at.

you can make these yourself by mixing gum arabic and holo pigments. beyond easy, i did it a couple times myself
@madameberry3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, they are handmade so presumably someone with the supplies and skill can also do it. I don't have the time, supplies, or inclination to though so I buy them from the people who do. 😊

Try dipping some silver foil into a container of water with a few drops of clear nail polish in it.Let the clear nail polish dry a bit and catch the film of clear nail polish (it will rise to the top of the water) with the silver foil.This is very much like water marbelling.
@madameberry3 жыл бұрын
That sounds interesting, but not something I have the supplies for currently. I also wonder about the archivalness of nail polish.
@Sharperthanu13 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't worry about that.Nail polish is a type of enamel paint like what a car is painted with.As long as it doesn't get a lot of wear and tear like nail polish would get on a person's hands it would be ok on an art work.However one should wear a mask and only paint in a well ventilated area when painting with nail polish.

I wonder if they would have been more or less holographic if you mix powder into rubbing alcohol instead of water 🧐
@madameberry2 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure the solvent would have an effect, but I don't know much about pigment making. Also, I think your comments on my other video got flagged as spam because I go to read them and it just says "comment unavailable" 😫
