Natural Pigments introduces a new way of making your own traditional waterborne paint: Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions. Aqueous dispersions are pigments dispersed in water ready to be mixed with water-based mediums. These dispersions are especially made for use with traditional painting mediums, such as egg, casein, fresco, watercolors and distemper (glue tempera). They are also ideally suited for use with gesso for making toned grounds for drawing and painting.

Pigment dispersions from Rublev Colours contain only naturally-derived ingredients, in addition to pigment and water, making them ideally suited for traditional and natural mediums. Unlike other pigment dispersions that are typically made for acrylic medium, Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions do not contain coalescent solvents, artificial dispersing resins and other additives that interfere with natural mediums.

Preparing Traditional Waterborne Paint

Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions make preparing traditional mediums easy; you do not have to hassle with powders, grinding pigments with expensive tools and calculating pigment-binder ratios to make water-based paint. They make adding the right amount of paint binder simple and easy. For example, preparing egg tempera has never been easier, because the dispersion makes measuring the right amount of pigment easy-you simply add pure egg yolk and stir-there's no guessing how much egg to add to the pigment.

Pigment dispersions can be used to make paint even when you're away from the studio. Try that with pigment powders! They are a great innovation for art instructors who need to do painting demonstrations in the field at any location. Pigment dispersions make it possible for artists to travel and paint while away from the studio.

Advantages of Pigment Dispersions

Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions are highly concentrated, free-flowing, yet viscous, stable liquids in which pigment particles are suspended in water. Dispersions are produced by mixing together dry pigments and water along with a few other ingredients.

There are many advantages to using dispersions when compared to dry pigments. Here are a few of the top reasons:

1. They are quick and easy to use.
2. There are no airborne particles to contend with, so they are safer.
3. Dispersions provide greater brilliance and tinting strength than dry pigments because the pigment particles are better dispersed than you could do by hand-even with a muller.
4. Because they are pigments concentrates, they give cleaner, more intense color.
