Painting Enamel Kit

This kit is for use with miniature and other painting techniques on enamel. These colors can be intermixed to make a large palette of painting colors. Includes 9 grams each of 14 ceramic pigments (oxides), 3 pink - lavender painting colors, 1 oz. 913E dry mixing white, 1 oz. PF-1 painting flux, 2 oz. A-12 painting oil and mixing instructions.

When using the ceramic pigments for painting, they require specific proportions of pigments to mixing white or painting flux to achieve the best potential color and ability to gloss when fired.

For most colors, mix 20% ceramic pigment to 80% painting flux or mixing white. For OC-70 or OC-71 (cadmium/selenium) pigments, mix only with painting flux in the proportion of 5% pigment to 95% enamel. For OC-95 (gold bearing), only mix with dry 913E Mixing white in any proportion of pigment to mixing white. Use lavender or other suitable water base or oil media. Can be mixed with Overglaze Painting Colors (dry or oil base) including Overglaze Painting Color Mixing White 913E.

Ceramic Pigments (Oxides)

These ceramic coloring compounds are used like water colors for shading and details. They are applied to the surface of the enamel. The underlying enamel is stained by firing. Since they are highly pigmented powders, they are used in thin, film-like layers. They are not an enamel in themselves and need to be covered with a transparent enamel on the finish firing. Sold in 20 gram amounts per color. They can be mixed with Painting Flux or with Mixing White 913E. Color samples shown over 1020 Titanium White. Special order

Water Color Enamels

BWC-Set of 10 Water Color Enamels For use on a clean oil free, vitreous surface. Colors can be used straight from the pan using water or a gum solution as the solvent; or the colors can be transferred, with a brush, to another pan where they can be further diluted or intermixed with other colors. A good starting point on white enameled steel tile or on white enameled copper is to fire at 1400°-1450°F for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until glossy. If using thin enameled steel plates (ESP),fire at 1400°-1450°F for 1-1/2 minutes. Water colors will become transparent and produce excellent gloss when fired appropriately. Can also be used for shading when used with 80 mesh enamels. Color samples shown over 1020 Titanium White.
