Winsor & Newton - Designers Gouache Primary Set (6 x 14ml)

Winsor & Newton - Designers Gouache Primary Set (6 x 14ml)

Size: 14ml Colours: 6* *see Contents below Artist-Quality Gouache Ideal introduction to the medium Highly-pigmented & opaque Quick-drying to a matte finish *please refer to Contents tab below Introduced in 1937, and popular with designers, illustrators and commercial artists, Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache is a selection of vibrant, opaque water colours. Featuring 82 colours, chosen for their strength of colour, undertone and relative opacity, the extensive choice within the Designers Gouache range includes both bright and lightfast colours. Winsor & Newton's Designers Gouache Primary set offers a selection of 6 x 14ml tubes of colour, specifically selected to produce optimum results when colour mixing, to produce strong, bright mixes. This set includes: Primary Yellow (527), Primary Red (524), Primary Blue (523), Permanent Green Middle (484), Ivory Black (331) and Zinc White (748). What is gouache? Gouache is an opaque water-based paint which, in addition to its colour pigment, contains a white pigment, such as chalk, and a binder (usually Gum Arabic).It is the presence of the additional white pigment which gives the medium its characteristic opacity. Gouache is applied, with water, to a support such as water colour paper. The pigment fixes to the support upon evaporation of the water. Gouache dries very quickly and, unlike acrylic, can be reactivated with water. It is possible to overpaint dry gouache with lighter or darker colours, without activating the colour underneath, although this should be done carefully. Brushes used to apply gouache paint should be cared for in the same manner as water colour brushes, and need only mild soap and water to clean them after use. This video illustrates how simple it is to clean and care for water colour brushes. Why use Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache? Also available individually in 14ml and 37ml tubes, all Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache colours are fully intermixable within the range, and with Winsor & Newton Water Colours.Exceptionally high levels of pigmentation, along with the natural attribute of each pigment, strengthen the opacity of Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache. Drying to a matt finish, this provides both clean colour mixing and excellent covering power. The pigments used in the range determine the permanence of each individual colour. Further information on the permanence and durability of each shade is given on Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache colour chart. How does gouache differ from water colour paint? Originally used to illuminate manuscripts, gouache is heavier than traditional transparent water colour. Containing more colour pigment and an additional white pigment, particles of gouache paint are larger than those of water colour. The tiny particles of water colour pigment become enmeshed in the fibre of the paper being painted, whereas gouache colour rests on the surface of the paper, forming a continuous layer. More versatile than water colour, when gouache is applied with a bristle brush, it is possible to achieve a slight impasto effect. These videos show how gouache and water colour paint compare: An Introduction to the Differences Between Gouache and Water Colour Comparison of Gouache and Water Colour Painting. What to do if your tube dries up? Keeping the caps closed tightly on the tubes will help prevent the paint drying up. Once a tube has dried up, gouache cannot be re-softened. However, the colour may still be used by cutting open the tube, removing the dried paint, then crushing with a pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a container, add a small amount of water, a drop of Gum Arabic, and then mix thoroughly. The resulting mixture may be used as a wash. An alternative method is to add only a couple of drops of water to the powder, to make a paste.  Place the paste in a water colour pan or ice cube tray, and leave to dry. The dried cake of gouache can be used in the same way as a pan of water colour. Which surfaces best support gouache? When choosing a support for gouache, it is important to consider the absorbency, colour and stability of the paper. Our range of Water Colour Paper & Pads offers an extensive choice of size and style, to meet artists' every requirement. Which brushes are best for painting with gouache? Gouache and water colour paint have the same properties, and therefore require brushes with the same characteristics. Water Colour Brushes are designed to hold and evenly control colour, have a fine point, and are able to spring back into shape after every stroke. With a middle body able to hold a good reservoir of colour, a Sable Brush has excellent spring and resilience. The hairs are particularly strong at the brush's fine tip, allowing the brush to be used both delicately and aggressively. Advancements in the production of synthetic hair have resulted in a rise in popularity of Synthetic Water Colour Brushes, especially if price and durability are

Pébéo - Gedeo Concentrated Latex 1 Litre

Da Vinci - Casaneo 490 Extra Long Rigger Brush Size 2

Nitram - Liquid Charcoal (50ml)

GOLDEN - Pastel Ground (237ml)

GOLDEN - Pastel Ground (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Prepares surfaces for pastels and charcoals Very thick consistency Can be applied to any primed surface Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Gessoes & Grounds Golden Pastel Ground is a 100% acrylic medium designed to prepare surfaces for the application of pastels, charcoal and other art media where a coarse tooth is desired. It contains finely ground sand (silica) in a pure acrylic emulsion. Pastel Ground can be applied to paper, canvas, wood or any primed support. This allows almost limitless applications for media typically confined to standard papers. Due to the weight of the solids in Ground for Pastels, it is produced very thick, and does not come ready to brush-apply. To use, thin 20-40% with water to achieve your desired consistency. Apply with a brush, paint-roller, spray equipment, squeegee or palette knife. Mix up only as much as is needed for one day's work as the solids will settle rapidly and be extremely difficult to mix back into suspension. For best surface adhesion, apply Golden Pastel Ground over Golden Gesso. It may also be applied over other acrylic mediums, gels, and paints for multi-media work. When used in conjunction with oil-based media, prepare your support (canvas, linen, masonite, etc.) with GAC 100 to block the oil from penetrating into the support, which can weaken or rot natural fibres. About Golden Mediums Golden offer the widest range of mediums for acrylic painting. Their range includes gels, additives and effect pastes, which allows you to choose whatever qualities you desire for your acrylic painting: luminous glazes, gritty opaque structures, string effects, glassy areas or variable drying times. This expansive range gives rise to inspiring possibilities that allow you to do very unusual things. Whatever your needs, our Golden range has you covered.

GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

GOLDEN - Sandable Hard Gesso (237ml)

Acrylic painting medium Produces surfaces that are smoother and more even For use on inflexible substrates Apply in multiple thin layers Made in the USA Video: Golden Artist Colours - Gessoes & Grounds Golden Sandable Hard Gesso is formulated with 100% acrylic dispersion polymer and can be sanded to provide surfaces that are smoother and more even than those created using regular gesso. It contains high levels of titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and other inert solids to produce an easily sanded surface. Only use on inflexible substrates such as hardboard, wood or metal panels. Potential for cracking may occur if used on highly absorbent surfaces, like canvas, even when adhered to a rigid surface beforehand. Apply in multiple thin layers, gradually building up to the desired thickness. Single thick layers could crack upon drying. When sanding, follow these general guidelines: Allow Sandable Hard Gesso to dry completely before sanding. Cured acrylic films are easier to sand. Start with coarser grit sandpapers, followed by subsequently finer grits until desired smoothness is achieved. Both wet and dry sandpapers may be used. Wet sanding generates less airborne dust and tends to produce a smoother surface than dry sanding. Sanding to a glossy (polished) surface can reduce mechanical adhesion of paint films. As always, test for your application. Upon completion of sanding, use a damp, soft cloth to remove sanding dust particles from the surface. Failure to do so can cause poor adhesion. Brushing: This product may be diluted with up to 20% water for ease of brush application. Spraying: Dilute Sandable Hard Gesso with Golden Airbrush Medium. Begin at a 2:1 ratio (Gesso:Medium) and test spray quality, as various spray equipment may require additional thinning. Further reduce viscosity by adding up to 20% water. Acrylic Painting: To reduce yellowing caused by Support Induced Discoloration (S.I.D.) when painting on supports that contain water soluble impurities, such as canvas and wood panels, first apply two coats of Gloss Medium and allow to dry thoroughly. Then apply the desired number of coats of Sandable Hard Gesso. Oil Painting: Apply oil paints to 2 or more coats of Sandable Hard Gesso.To protect natural substrates from linseed oil acids, apply 2-3 coats of GAC 100 or Gloss directly on the raw canvas first. Allow the acrylic products sufficient time to cure before applying oil paints in order to maximise mechanical adhesion Please note: This product is designed for rigid substrates only and is NOT to be used on flexible materials, as cracking may occur. About Golden Mediums Golden offer the widest range of mediums for acrylic painting. Their range includes gels, additives and effect pastes, which allows you to choose whatever qualities you desire for your acrylic painting: luminous glazes, gritty opaque structures, string effects, glassy areas or variable drying times.
