[Woodcarver] Pigment

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

Hey Chris, If you are talking about paint pigment that the stores mix into  
white base, I don't imagine them to be that much different than any other  
acrylic or oil.  they do need to be mixed into a white base for their true  colors 
to be realized.  after that it should be just like working with any  other 
paints as far as mixing charts go.  they can be mixed with any water  based or 
oil base.  the advantage as I see it, would be to be able to mix  up an entire 
palette in varying degrees of opaqueness.  as for the quality  of the paint, I 
would figure they would only be as good as the binder being used  i.e. db 
linseed oil or water with an acrylic retarder added.
