Nimbus is a copper free, pastel blue-green. Based on our colour Atlantis, Nimbus is an easy to work colour, with no fear of REDuction. If you like Zen, but don't want to worry about reduction, then Nimbus is the colour for you.
Working Tip: Be sure not to get this colour too hot when in a thin application as to not cook out the pastel base and turn it transparent. Work in a neutral flame. Blow outs work best with the pastel colours.
Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:
"Nimbus is a translucent pastel blue-green with a soft tone. Based on a milky aquamarine colour, Nimbus is subject to a variety of looks based on thickness of the colour layer and techniques used to manipulate it. Nimbus handles well with or without encasement. Coiled bubbles will show coil lines whereas a blowout will produce a smooth opalescent finish. It is copper free, so it won’t go red from propane reduction. Easy to work and quick to melt, this pastel is perfect for the job when you want something with range and stability." - Mike Shelbo
