From the art world to painters, dry pigments have been the backbone of centuries past. They offer endless possibilities to perfect translucent colour and an unrivalled medium variety. We pride ourselves on having a large selection of top-of-the-line Dry Pigments in fine Jacquard, Demco, Brusho, and The Crafter’s Workshop.
Understanding Dry Pigments
Dry pigments are finely ground particles that are the base of paints, inks, and dyes. But unlike pre-mixed paints, dry pigments allow artists to have a unique medium in terms of textures and hues. What is most valuable about this kind of flexibility is that it is perfect for artists who want to explore what is possible with their creativity.
The Advantages of using Dry pigments
● Customization: With pigment mix and binders, artists are able to make personalized colours and consistencies.
● Cost-Effectiveness: For larger projects, you can buy pigments raw for a more economical purchase.
● Longevity: Artworks with high-quality pigments are lightfast (so they will stay vibrant over time).
Discover the best Dry Pigment Brands
To provide the best products, we handpick items from the leading brands at King’s Framing and Art Gallery.
Jacquard Products
Jacquard is famous for its vast range of pigments and dyes, available for traditional artists and crafters alike. They sell a great deal of their Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments because they give a metallic sheen that can be mixed into all sorts of mediums for spectacular results.
Demco
Demco's dry pigments, with their purity, second the great rich colour payoff. These pigments are ideal for both beginners and professionals since they blend beautifully with all binders and produce the same results on any given application.
Brusho
Brusho offers a unique line of highly pigmented inks in water-soluble crystals. Sprinkled directly onto wet surfaces, these versatile pigments may also be added to dry surfaces and then spritzed with water to see the magic come alive. Alternatively, they may be applied to wet surfaces, watching the pigmented colours dissolve in water to explore vibrant washes and intricate patterns.
The Crafter's Workshop
The Crafter's Workshop is known for its great stencils. It has a vast selection of stencils and mixed-media products to complement its dry pigments. These products are popular among mixed-media artists because they enhance the texture and dimension of artworks.
Their dry pigments are also magical. They work similarly to Brusho, sprinkled directly onto wet surfaces. These versatile pigments may also be added to dry surfaces and then spritzed with water to see the magic come alive. Alternatively, they may be applied to wet surfaces, watching the pigmented colours dissolve in water to explore vibrant washes and intricate patterns.
