Een fijne olieverf starter-set voor kunstenaars die met natuurlijke verf willen gaan werken
Meng zelf olieverf met aarde- en mineraalpigmenten en walnotenolie.
De set bevat:
10 natuurlijke aarde minerale pigmenten, in zakjes van ca. 56 gram poeder (maakt ca 60 ml per kleur): Venetian Red, Orange Ochre, Yellow Ochre, Terre Verte, Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Purple, Black Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Titanium White en Burnt Umber.
ca. 120 ml walnotenolie. Dit is de olie om de pigmenten mee te mengen.
ca. 120 ml Eco-Solve. Deze gebruik je als verfverdunner of als kwastreiniger.
Gebruiksaanwijzing
Let op: de olie en de terpentine in deze starter-set hebben een dosis om alle kleuren te kunnen uitproberen voor 1 of 2 schildersessies. Om de gehele inhoud aan pigmenten te kunnen aanmaken heb je een aanvulling nodig van walnotenolie en eco-solve.
Meng pigmenten met walnotenolie met een paletmes. Gebruik eventueel een glazen loper voor grondiger mengen. Voorkom het inademen van pigmentstof en volg de productinstructies en veiligheidsbladen.
Voor het bewaren van de verf kunt u elk materiaal gebruiken dat je wenst. Olieverf droogt erg langzaam, dus sommige mensen bedekken of wikkelen hun palet helemaal niet als ze elke dag aan een schilderij gaan werken. Maar voor een betere opslag kun je glazen potten, onze aluminium tubes of iets dergelijks gebruiken om de verf in te bewaren. Over het algemeen is het aan te raden om zo min mogelijk lucht in de container te houden.
* Daarnaast zijn los verkrijgbaar de overige kleuren: Brilliant Yellow, Emerald Green, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, Violet Ocher, Mayan Red, Mayan Turquoise, Mummy Red and Natural Gold Mica.
Veelgestelde vragen
De veelgestelde vragen zijn in het Engels gehouden om zo goed mogelijk weer te geven wat er wordt bedoeld. Kan je het antwoord op je vraag niet vinden? Kijk ook eens op onze veelgestelde vragen-pagina. Hier vind je onder meer veelgestelde vragen over specifieke kleuren.
Why should I mix my own paint when I can buy paint pre-made?
Mixing your own paint lets you adjust the pigment-to-oil ratio for each colour and project.
How much pigment do I need to add? What is the ratio of pigment to oil when mixing oil paint?
Unfortunately, every color has a completely different oil: pigment ratio because each color absorbs moisture differently and each pigment has different molecular structure, size, density, drying time, etc. You simply pour the pigment onto the palette and add small amounts of oil at a time and mix until it makes a smooth, thick paste. You can use a glass dropper to add drops at a time. Use Eco-Solve according to its instructions to thin paint.
How long does the oil paint last after mixed and how should I store it? The oil paints in the Complete Oil Paint Kit usually stay wet on the palette for up to a week, but any extra paint can be stored in aluminum foil, air-tight glass jars, or aluminum tubes. For more information on storing oil paints, visit our blog. You can store them in glass jars with screw on / air tight lids or even better, store them in aluminum tubes.
Do I need to use a muller? The muller isn't absolutely necessary. You can just use the palette knife to mix paint if you mix thoroughly by pressing and swirling repeatedly. The purpose for the glass muller is to make 100% sure that every particle of pigment is completely coated in oil. Because if there are any air pockets in the paint, then the paint might crack after a long period of time.
Why don’t you offer pre-mixed oil paint for sale?
This set supplies pigments and oil separately so you can mix the quantity and consistency you need.
How do I clean up the oil paint? Large amounts of oil or oil paint should be disposed of according to your city’s local ordinances.
Or: Rub a small amount of oil into the paint on your skin, then wipe off with a rag and wash with soap and water.
To clean brushes:
Pour a small amount of Eco-Solve* into a glass jar (just enough to cover the brush bristles if you dunk your brush), then swirl your brush until the majority of paint comes off. Finish washing brushes with soap and water.
Or: Simply use pure oil, like walnut, to thin your paint and clean your brushes
Or: Use Murphy’s Oil Soap from any hardware store.
Dispose of paint residues and used cleaning liquids according to local waste guidance. Do not pour paint residues down the drain.
How long does the oil paint take to dry to the touch? On average, it takes about 4-7 days for oil paint to dry, but it may take shorter or longer depending on your surrounding conditions and the thickness of paint layers. To speed drying time, add some Sun thickened Linseed Oil.
NOTE: There isn’t any water in oil paint to evaporate (unlike acrylics which dry by evaporation) so traditional oil paints dry by oxidization, which occurs when the oil reacts with oxygen in the air and hardens. This is why you shouldn’t varnish an oil painting until it is fully cured, as putting varnish on a partially dry (to the touch) painting won’t allow air through the varnish layer and will stop the painting from drying properly and fully.
What age group is the oil paint for? Teenagers and up
Does your Titanium White paint yellow over time? If your white paint is yellowing, it’s actually the oil that’s turning it yellow, not the pigment itself. Some painters mix Hempseed Oil or poppyseed oil (since it is the clearest of all oils) with their white pigments only instead of walnut or linseed oil, to stop it from yellowing. Many artists do that for just white. We carry walnut oil because it is less yellowing than linseed oil although linseed oil dries faster which some people prefer.
We sell walnut oil because it is less yellowing than linseed oil although there will be slight yellowing over time.
