How to use

This allows artists to be involved in their creative process from the start and to add colours to any type of medium, as well as mix original colours.

Specifications:
  • add in sparing amounts and mix thoroughly
  • mixing with polyurethane will create a rich colour but will not change the colour of the pigment; it can then be used to paint and will produce a translucent rich colour
  • pigments can be mixed with any paint to enrich or change colour (e.g. if you have red paint and wish to create purple, you could add a blue pigment)
  • pigments can be mixed with melted wax for impasto painting or candle-making wax
  • simple white glue can be used as a binder for a variety of crafting ideas

Mediums, Varnishes & Resins: Extend What Paint Can Do

Mediums, varnishes and resins are the tools that give artists control over how paint behaves, how a finished work is protected and how surfaces are prepared. Whether you're modifying the texture or drying time of your paint, sealing a finished canvas or working with resin for mixed media, DeSerres carries a complete selection of products for acrylic, oil and watercolour painting, as well as primers, solvents and fixatives.

Finding the Right Product for Your Technique

The right medium depends on your paint and your intention. Acrylic mediums can extend drying time, add texture, increase transparency or build impasto effects. Oil mediums adjust viscosity, gloss and drying speed. Watercolour mediums enhance flow, granulation or lifting properties. Primers prepare your surface for paint adhesion. Solvents thin oil paint and clean brushes. Varnishes and fixatives protect finished work from dust, UV and moisture. Resins open up a world of mixed media and decorative possibilities.
