Sennelier Dry Pigment 200ml Iridescent 020

These are titanium dioxide based pigments and they have been surface treated with mica. The iridescent coloration varies depending upon the mica content which, due to light interference, produces different hues. Very lightfast, high covering power and hazard-free. Can be used for a huge range of applications - even for cosmetics. Can be mixed with binding agents, oils, vinyl, resins, etc.

At the end of the 19th century, when he developed oil colors for his artist customers who would include immortal names like Cezanne, Gauguin and Picasso, Gustave Sennelier recognized the need for producing paints that only contained the highest quality pigments. In order to craft superior colors, Gustave verified that the origins of the pigments were from selected traditional sources, while precisely identifying their specific chemical characteristics. Ultimately, his great respect for these materials not only insured the permanence of works created with his paints, but also assured the production of an increasing array of unique colors of unsurpassed beauty and quality.

Since then, some pigments have disappeared, their natural resources depleted and others have been restricted due to their toxicity. But with recent innovations and research Sennelier offers a wide variety of synthetic pigments that perfectly match the performance of such ancient mineral pigments such as Lapis Lazuli and Cinnabar. Yet at the same time Sennelier still mines the earth for minerals and other natural elements from traditional sources - pigments like clays and iron oxides used in ochres and the preparation of "burnt" earth colors from calcified soil.

Lightfastness: Very Good

Transparency:Semi-Opaque

Avoid grinding them as this would destroy their "pearly" effect. Not suitable for fresco work.
