GERSTAECKER PIGMENTS

The new Gerstaecker Artist quality studio pigments represent an ideal addition to the ranges of artist pigments already on offer as they were particularly conceived for the artist working on a large scale and for the spontaneous artist. These pigments are an amazing price and are very easy to work with. All pigments can be mixed with the binder straight out of the tub with a mini whisk - grinding is rarely neccessary. Typically for artists pigments, the pigments are standardised according to colour and colour strength. All of the usual colours are there, and the pigments are comparable to others in many qualities but are above average in colour strength and their results. The range also has more than a few speciality colours to explore. Gerstaecker pigments have been designed to not only fulfil but exceed the expectations of artists with the minimum of effort and results every time. The studio pigments are composed of pure pigment as they are, or should be, in all the best artists colours. All pigments exhibit at least stage 7 of the 8 stage blue wool scale for lightfastness, and far more than half get the maximum score of 8. All pigments are alkali solution soluble (except Prussian-Blue) and as such Gerstaecker studio pigments are universally applicable. When using acrylic and gum binders, the simple processing to finished paint and the amazing price performance ratio, really do inspire - particularly with large area work. Best results are achieved with casein binders, but even with oil or tempera applications these pigments can do a good service to the artist. Lastly these pigments can also be dissolved in solvent based casting processes to colour the resin - varnishes, epoxy, polyester, methylated, and polyurethane resins are all suitable bases to begin your work.
