Primary Elements Arte-Pigments gives YOU the control when mixing paint colors

For over 16 years we have been blending 100% pure ground color and proprietary minerals. Our 220+ colors are far from the mass-produced colors found in a typical craft store. You will find that our unmatched luminosity and depth of color make Primary Elements less like paint and more like ARTE.

Arte-Pigment Basics

Primary Elements Arte-Pigments are compatible with binders that clean up with soap and water.
TIP: Colors are VERY Pigmented, mix small amounts of Arte-Pigments “a little at a time “You can always add more but you cannot remove if too much is used.
Compatible: Acrylic Mediums, Acrylic Glazes, Acrylic Gels, Gum binder and water based polyurethane.
NOT compatible: Arte-Pigments will resist solvent-based materials such as Nail Polish, Oil Paint and Alcohol inks
Arte-Pigments Colors are at their highest brilliance when mixed with clear or “colorless” binders. When Arte-Pigments are mixed in white based gesso, pastes or other white based paint (titanium dioxide) the brilliance of color is diminished.
TIP: Reason White is ALL color, therefore has a subtractive effect on all color thus muting the brilliance of color and light waves.
Getting started: Cover and protect your work surface and work in a well-ventilated area. When mixing large batches protect eyes, nose, and mouth from airborne particles.
