Mixing Instructions
For liquid binders: Place desired amount of pigment in mixing vessel or on a palette. Add liquid slowly and work with palette knife or tool to create a smooth color paste or syrup. The liquid used may be either the binder itself or a compatible vehicle depending upon the chosen medium. To avoid flocculation, do not introduce pigments into a large volume of liquid all at once as this will cause micro clumping.
For dry binders such as plasters and cements: Pigment may be added into dry ingredients directly prior to mixing. If micro-bursting of particles appears in plasters, creating a color syrup may be necessary first.
Mixing tools: Artist mixing tools may include a palette with a palette knife, a mortar and pestle or a slab and muller. Which tool you use depends upon the amount mixed and the pigment’s need for mulling. Decorative binders may require the use of mechanical mixers to fully incorporate pigment.
Ratios: To be determined by individual binders and/or color result desired. Visit our How-To pages for in-depth recipes with suggested ratio's and detailed instructions.
What are Oxides?
Oxide pigments are man made, non-toxic colors that are the workhorses of the pigment industry. They offer purity with strong tinting strength and are useful across all mediums, from fine art to exterior applications. Oxide pigments are the best pigments to use with cements and plasters where a stronger color is desired, or where ratios are limited. Oxides are generally produced by the synthesis of two materials, creating a by-product. They can be calcined or appear in their natural color. We work to ensure that all producers of these colors are responsible both in their sourcing and manufacture, to humans and the planet.
