OPAQUE Pigment Bundle: Beautiful Sunsets Need Cloudy Skies
Sunsets are proof that, no matter what happens, every day can have a beautiful ending. Our Beautiful Sunsets Need Cloudy Skies: Opaque Pigment Collection 🌇🍹🌘 is the perfect combo of light and dark - curated to remind you to put yourself in the way of beauty.
Andreea and Kate have hand-selected these sensational colours just for you! Beautiful Sunsets Need Cloudy Skies contains five opaque pigments in 30g pots: Blood Red, Storm Cloud, Inky Depths, Orange & Yellow.
Whether completely new to resin craft, or a seasoned professional, this stylish pigment bundle is just what you need to create breath-taking resin pieces. We recommend using these colours in our coaster moulds for stunning agate homewares.
- Stir first: these colours can separate from their binder. This is completely normal - it just needs a good mix up
- Intermix: you can create any colour under the sun with our opaque pigments - try mixing two colours in a small pot prior to adding to your resin mix
- Use sparingly: the general rule of thumb is to use up to 10% by volume to your resin mix (1 part pigment to 10 parts resin mix). Any more than this and you will interfere with the resin ratio resulting in your work curing with a tacky or flexible finish. We like to think about the amounts to use in terms of nuts & seeds... for 20mls resin you need a SESAME seed sized amount of pigment; for 40mls a PINE NUT, for 100mls a SUNFLOWER SEED; and for 250ml a CASHEW NUT sized amount of pigment.
- Add to resin: these pigments do not work like traditional paints (and can't be used to paint with on paper or canvas) - they must be pre-mixed with resin
- Adding to JESMONITE®: These pigments are not designed for use with JESMONITE® and will appear much lighter in colour if added. As they can affect the cure of JESMONITE®, we recommend using our range of specially-designed JESMONITE® pigments instead.
