Transform Your Painting Technique
Epoxide Oil Gel is a thixotropic painting medium that revolutionizes your approach to oil painting. This translucent yellow gel, made from dicyclopentadiene copolymer linseed oil and pyrogenic silica, caters to artists looking for enhanced transparency and body in their paint. As an innovative addition to your painting supplies, Epoxide Oil Gel can be easily mixed directly into your oil, resin-oil, or alkyd paints, allowing you to achieve stunning effects without compromising the integrity of your artwork.
Unveil the Power of Transparency
One of the standout features of Epoxide Oil Gel is its ability to add much-needed transparency to your whites and other colors without losing the body of the paint. Imagine mixing Epoxide Oil Gel with Lead White; the result is a semi-transparent and soft texture that retains sculptural qualities. Such qualities significantly enhance your artwork by increasing depth and dimension, something every painter aspires to achieve.
Achieve Impasto Effects Effortlessly
Artists often seek ways to create impasto effects that add drama and textural interest to their canvas. Epoxide Oil Gel makes it easy to thicken your paint while allowing for vibrant color placement. By adding pigments or extenders, you can achieve the desired stiffer consistency that holds its form and retains brushstrokes without sinking in. The gel’s unique properties ensure that your creations remain dynamic and full of life.
Safety and Convenience Combined
Safety is pivotal when it comes to art supplies, and that's where Epoxide Oil Gel excels. This medium does not include driers or solvents, making it safe for use in oil painting without the worry of cracking or compromising the artwork. It’s essential for artists to focus on creativity and expression rather than health concerns, and Epoxide Oil Gel provides that peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy the process completely.
Mix, Grind, and Create
Utilizing Epoxide Oil Gel is straightforward and user-friendly. Mix it directly into your paint on the palette to achieve the perfect blend. If you want to create your custom paint, simply add the gel to pigment powder for a paste-like consistency that is ready to be ground with a muller. While some thixotropic properties may be temporarily lost during this process, they are restored when left to stand. This flexibility allows artists to explore diverse creative avenues with confidence.
Health and Safety Compliance
Epoxide Oil Gel conforms to ASTM D 4236 standards, reinforcing its commitment to health and safety for artists. While there aren't known health hazards directly associated with this product, it is wise to exercise caution and protect yourself against potential risks. Avoid ingestion, limit excessive skin contact, and steer clear of inhaling any mists or dusts. With its safety profile, artists can fully immerse in their creative endeavors knowing they’re utilizing a trusted product.
