Here you can choose from 5 different coloured earth pigments we have in stock. They are all around 25g in weight and sealed in a protective plastic sleeve. They are ideal for use by a luthier to colour varnish for musical instruments such as violin and cello. They can be blended and you can experiment with colours such as in the making of antique looking instruments. One technique is to grind the pigment with a little linseed oil, before placing in a syringe before adding to your varnish. Throughout history Earth Pigments have been used for numerous purposes and still do today. These Earth Pigments are ideal for use in varnishes and furniture oils, varnishes, glues, plaster, grout and resins etc. They are also traditionally used to colour paints and to make artists oil and water based paints. Also for other general art and craft use.
Colours are non-toxic but it is better to use gloves when handling them to protect the skin from being coloured. Please choose from the drop down menu.
