Essential Tips for Storing Art Mediums
Storing art mediums starts with understanding the specific needs of each type. For instance, oil paints need to be kept away from extreme temperatures, while watercolours should be sealed to prevent them from drying out. In addition, mediums like varnishes and gels should be kept tightly closed when not in use to maintain their consistency and efficacy. By following these guidelines, artists can ensure that their art mediums continue to inspire and facilitate their creative process.
Types of Paint Mediums and Their Uses
The range of paint mediums available offers artists incredible flexibility in shaping their creative process. Oil mediums are ideal for altering consistency, improving blending, or adding sheen to oil-based works. Water-mixable oil mediums provide similar benefits while offering a more convenient and eco-friendly approach. Acrylic mediums excel in modifying drying times, adding texture, or enhancing colour vibrancy. For watercolours, mediums help control flow, intensify pigmentation, or create specialized effects like granulation or gloss. Printmaking mediums are specifically designed to ensure smooth application and consistent results. Each type of medium serves a unique purpose, enabling artists to customize their techniques.
