Uses and applications

Artistic painting: formulation of oil, acrylic, watercolor, or tempera by grinding the pigment with the chosen binder on a glass plate.
Chromatic reintegration in conservation-restoration: preparation of reversible retouching colors by adjusting the pigment with binders such as Aquazol, Paraloid B-72, or gum arabic, to match the original tone.
Polychromy and gilding: retouching and reintegration of polychromies and grounds.
Creation of custom shades by combining pigments.

How to use

The best way to use them is to initially mix the pigment with small amounts of the chosen medium in a muller or with a spatula on a glass plate until a completely wet paste is obtained, work it by applying pressure, and finally gradually incorporate the chosen medium until the desired consistency is achieved. Pigments can be mixed with each other.

Safety

Powder product: handle with a mask (FFP2/FFP3) avoiding inhalation. Some colors (cadmiums, cobalt) contain pigments with hazard classification; consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the corresponding color. Bitume has low lightfastness and is not recommended for reintegration in conservation-restoration.
