What are the commonly used color mixing media

What are the commonly used color mixing media Grease is a medium for oil paints and is also used in Tampera emulsions and glazing materials. According to the drying method, oils used for toning media are divided into two categories: one is volatile oil, such as turpentine, lavender oil, refined gasoline, etc. The second is dry oil, such as poppy oil, linseed oil, walnut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and so on. The role of the toning media prepared by different oils is not the same. To master the techniques of oil painting, it is necessary to understand how to use the toning media. At present, the commonly used mixing agent and diluent are mainly the following: (1) turpentine Turpentine is a volatile, colorless and transparent liquid extracted by distillation of pine resin, also known as resin turpentine. In painting can be used as pigment and toner diluent, can also be used as a resin solvent. Good turpentine evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. Domestic painters use more medical turpentine, available in pharmacies. It is the best thinner for drafting and applying large color blocks. Unrelated to resinous turpentine, Venetian turpentine is a very dense amber liquid that, when added to paints and toning oils, produces a firm, jewel-like conjunctiva. So it is often used as a glazing medium. (2) Linseed oil Linseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is extracted from the seed of the flax plant and is the main medium for oil paints. Cold pressed linseed oil: The purest form of linseed oil. Its basic use is as a blending agent of oil paints. Hot refining linseed oil: It is refined by steam heating and pressing, also known as steam pressing linseed oil, the yield is higher than cold pressing. At present, Chinese art supplies stores sell mostly hot refined linseed oil, which is divided into two kinds: decolorization and primary color. Sun thickened linseed oil: Cold pressed and hot refined linseed oil is mainly used to make oil paint blending agent. The oil used for painting is thickened linseed oil. Thickening is usually done by sunlight exposure (see "Preparation of toner" for details). It is an excellent quick - drying oil for toning. Polymerized linseed oil: It is a transparent and thick excellent painting toning oil made from linseed oil in sealed state and heated to 300℃ or more. Although it does not dry particularly fast, the resulting layers have unusual strength and crack resistance. It is suitable for classical transparent painting. Flax toning oil: IT is cooked linseed oil, which has 10% light oil, 15% turpentine oil and 0.5 ~ 3% cobalt drying agent. (3) Walnut oil (walnut oil) This oil was used by European painters until the 18th century, when it was replaced by linseed oil. It has good fluidity, but it dries slowly. Contemporary painters use it as a tonic for classical paintings. There are two kinds of walnut oil on the market: cold pressed and matured cold pressed. Cold pressed pure raw walnut oil: one of the best toning oils. You can use this oil and turpentine to draft, or you can mix the three oil or direct color. Aged COLD PRESSED WALNUT OIL: MADE BY HEATING COLD PRESSED WALNUT OIL without air isolation. It contains lead oxide for use in homemade toner. Faster drying speed. (4) safflower oil and poppy oil Safflower oil: has good color persistence, does not yellow due to time, is the production of white and other light color pigments of high quality oil. It is used to produce white oil paint by famous pigment manufacturers. Poppy oil: Extracted from opium seeds and used mainly to make white and light pigments. Slow drying, less firm conjunctival. Sun-thickened poppy oil is the best toning oil. (5) emulsion matte toner (matte toner oil) Containing cellulose, dama resin. Adjust it into the color, can make the shading layer produce matte effect. Used alternately with triad oil, suitable for classical transparent painting. Fast drying speed. (6) Three-in-one toning oil (" three-in-one "toning oil) It is a lustrous toning oil with which to paint or embellish. It is a mixture of one part flaxseed oil, one part dama resin varnish, and one to three parts turpentine. Moderate dryness. (7) oil painting mixing paste The paste is a much thicker medium. Can MAKE OPAQUE oil painting color into transparent color, the most suitable for transparent thin dye painting, and dry speed express, with its color thin dye, can immediately use different color painting. (8) alkyd resin medium It is a new material and may replace the traditional toning medium. There are many brands in foreign countries, it has obvious advantages: with oil color and when, can accelerate the drying time; Can increase transparency; Make the color layer more glossy; Make the color more saturated; Color layers are also more durable. It basically comes in two forms: a thick translucent fluid and an extremely thick paste. It can be used for heavy direct painting or smooth glazing. (9) Mineral alcohol Mineral alcohol, a by-product of petroleum, acts as a diluent in oil paintings, as does turpentine. As pure as water, the most volatile, but slightly less soluble.
