Resins & Pigments: Colour and Depth for Every Creative Project
Resins and pigments open up a world of creative possibilities beyond traditional painting. Epoxy and UV resins create glossy, glass-like surfaces ideal for mixed media, jewellery, decorative objects and abstract art. Dry pigments and mica powders add rich, concentrated colour to resin, paint, plaster and more. DeSerres carries a selection of resins and pigments suited to both fine art and craft applications.
Working with Resin and Pigments: What You Need to Know
Epoxy resin is a two-part system that cures at room temperature, producing a hard, clear finish. It can be tinted with mica powders, alcohol inks or dry pigments to create colour effects, cells and gradients. UV resin cures quickly under ultraviolet light and is ideal for small-scale work and jewellery. Dry pigments are highly concentrated and can be mixed into virtually any medium, including resin, acrylic, oil and encaustic. Always work in a well-ventilated space and follow safety guidelines when handling resin. Explore our Acrylic Mediums, Mixed Media and our full Mediums, Varnishes & Resins collection for more options.
