**********"

Methaine is an inorganic pigment featuring a strong brightness. It uses a flake -like glass as a base material, and coat metal and metal oxides on the surface to emit a beautiful luster.

At PIGMENT TOKYO Metashaine Titannia coat Eight kinds Metashaine Silver coat. We handle three types, and this time we will introduce the Titania Coat Series.

The particle diameter is φ80 µm and the fine particle GT1080, A little rough and has a particle diameter of φ600µm GT5600. There are a total of eight types of pigments, each of which two types are four colors each.

This color has a red, blue, yellow, green, and color name for each bottle, but at first glance there is no big difference in color. You may be wondering, "Why is the color name attached?"

The color changes greatly depending on the type of effect pigment depending on the type, depending on the type of light source, the angle of the light source, and the viewing angle.

Here is a painting sample released on the product page of our lab online shop.

It looks like a pearly pearl face with a slightly reddish pearl when the pigment is in the state of the pigment, but when applied to a black base, it looks like this.

In addition, by adding black pigments and paint to these pigments, the effect can be obtained as a result of darkening the base.

This seems to be a mixture of Holbein's black pigment paste with Mirabal Pacific Too Incur 5402, which was introduced in the previous article. You can see that the white part of the original pigment that is not completely mixed, and the part where the color is changing by mixing with black.

【PIGMENT ARTICLES】Having Fun with Effect Pigments

By applying the effect of changing the color due to this mixing color, it is possible to create a different color from the tube by mixing it with acrylic paint. As mentioned earlier, Metashine is based on glass, so if you mix it with acrylic paint using a pigment with strong coloring power, the color will lose.

 

This time, using its action,Acrylic paint with the effect of polarizingI made it. If you add pigments, there is a possibility of peeling due to lack of glue material, so this time Gel medium Is added. If the GT5600 has a large particle diameter, you may want to add a little more gel medium.

Gel Medium is a water -soluble acrylic medium, which is more transparent than acrylic emulsion, so it can express the handwriting, overcoat, and an expression such as matriel.

Let's choose the color immediately. The first thing to use is GT1080RR (red) and GT5600 (red).

Because I wanted to create a color that makes use of the pigments of this pigment, I mixed the paint next to it with a color ring rather than an unrelated color or complementary color.

Next, let's mix green paint with blue.

The light blue flavor spreads to the highlights is beautiful. Like the above RR (red), there is almost no reflection in the large GT5600 series with a large particle, giving a slightly rough impression. This time, since the gel medium is used, the pigment with a large particle diameter is slightly transparent, and a mysterious pattern has emerged from the traces painted with a brush.

If you want a solid particles and a sense of polarized light, you will need to apply a thicker coat.

Here, red has been added to the yellow system. Acrylic paints, like oil paint and transparent watercolor paint, have colors that have a strong influence on other colors when mixed, and not.

The ones used in this article are as high as possible and are as high as possible and are strongly colored, so a small amount of acrylic paint to be added is sufficient. The gradation from the redness to orange of the Meibe had good coloring.

The highlights of the highlights and the beautiful color of low light may be one of the charms created by mixing effect pigments and acrylic paint.

Next, I added yellow green paint to the green system. The color name is "olive green", but this paint is rather yellowish, or a very yellowish paint.

Therefore, although the whole is yellow, the color of GT1080RG (green) and GT5600RG (green) is spreading slightly overall.

Finally, we mixed the metashaine GT5600RG (green) and Mazda acrylic paint olive green, and colored it like making a picture of a picture.

All color samples of this article use thick watercolor paper called Takawa paper watercolor, but there is a risk of cracking to color on paper. By painting the paint to some extent, the rough particles of the GT5600 series were able to create a layer to create a solid picture skin.

However, when performing similar expressions, it is a good idea to take measures to prevent the screen from deterioration, such as using a panel of the basal material as a panel or adding a little more Medium.

In this way, effect pigments not only change the color when applied to the black base material, but can also find further potential by mixing with other paint and color materials.

While referring to pigment bottles, painting samples, product information, etc., searching for good coloring materials that seemed to fit metashaine was different from normal paint making.

The technique introduced this time is a tube paint that has already been kneaded with the Medium, so you can work a little more efficiently than to knead it from the pigment.

Why do not you enjoy the sense of polarization of methaine with a little experiment.
