Holbein Pigment Paste contains finely ground pigments suspended in a base of water, wetting agent, and dispersing agent. These intense colours have been developed as a base colourant with which to produce your own paint.
There are no binders, fillers, or other chemicals added. They can be used as they are for block printing and monoprinting, and can be combined with a watersoluble binder such as gum arabic or acrylic emulsion to produce paint. Mix with a few drops of water until the desired tint is achieved. They are available in 20 colours in 35ml bottles.
When not in use, keep the container tightly closed, and clean brushes and tools in warm water immediately after use.
Please note: Holbein Pigment Paste does not contain any binder on its own and is not suitable as an actual paint unless a watersoluble binder or adhesive agent is added. It is recommended to test a small amount first to ensure compatibility. Pigment Paste cannot be used to produce oil paint.
