Pigments and Powders

Our range of pigments and powders are great for creating your own paints or inks and make a great addition to mixed media painting. A pigment is a finely ground pure artists colour, usually in a crystalline or powder form, that can be mixed with water or binder to create your own fluid colour. Powdered colour can be pigment or dye based - while a pure pigment will offer the best lightfastness, a dye-based powder will fade over time. Mix with binder or water immediately before using for the most vibrant colour.
