Oil colours are a type of paint with which you can make opaque and transparent paintings. With oil colours you can paint wet-into-wet (i.e. mix paint both on the palette and on the canvas), layered (apply a layer of paint once the previous has dried) and you can glaze (work with very thin transparent layers). A characteristic of oil colours is that the brush stroke remains visible.

Winton is a traditional range of oil colours, made from moderately priced pigments, formulated for student and amateur artists or more accomplished painters requiring large volumes of colour within moderate cost limits.
The application of traditional skills and modern colour chemistry techniques has resulted in a range of 47 carefully selected Winton Oil Colours including genuine cadmiums and cobalt, which are of excellent quality.
A high level of pigmentation provides good covering power and tinting strength. While it can't match the superior pigment load of Artists' Oil Colour, the Winton range is much stronger than many other artists' quality ranges.
The economical cost has been achieved through the use of moderately priced pigments rather than lessening the pigment content to an unacceptable level. Winsor & Newton formulation, manufacture and quality control ensure a product of absolute excellence.
As with the Artists' Oil Colour range, the surface sheen of Winton is largely due to the pigment used. The level of gloss will therefore vary, although Winton is more uniform across the range.
All colours will become touch dry in 2-12 days. The different drying rates are due to the different reaction of each pigment when mixed with oil.

The term "glitter" means twinkle, sparkle, brilliance or shine.
The custom of ornamenting surfaces with fragments of glittery material is very ancient. In the middle ages precious enamel finishes were enriched with the addition of golden sparkles, and by the Renaissance there were a variety of ways of obtaining this curious, fascinating finish, so charming and mysterious. But traditional materials rarely permitted achievement of the quality possible with today's synthetic products.
Very fine flakes of polyester with a coloured mirror finish can now be mixed with any binder to anchor them solidly onto any material and create a brightly glittering surface in one or more colours. Unrivalled in light weight, durability and convenience, Idea Glitter has a very high light reflection factor which makes surfaces appear almost luminous or luminescent.
Glitter may be mixed with any binder or medium and used in any pictorial technique, applied with a brush just like paint. For an even brighter effect, apply a medium to the surface to be treated and sprinkle Glitter over it generously while it is still fresh and sticky, then leave it to dry. The polyester flakes will not come off when the medium is dry.
Glass is synonymous with transparency, with light. Decorating glass means decorating the light that passes through it. Alongside the better-known, more complex techniques of colouring molten glass and creating stained glass windows, there are a number of fascinating traditional techniques for colouring glass cold, recently enriched by the new potential of today's innovative materials.
Idea glass colours are solvent-based because this is the only way to guarantee outstanding stability to light and adaptability to variations in temperature, achieving unrivalled durability.
Painting on glass is traditionally as delicate and ephemeral as glass itself. At one time it was a very exclusive art, but today's synthetic resins have made it more popular, now that it is easy to paint on any glass surface, including mirrors, as well as metal and stoneware, using a variety of decorative techniques.
Idea glass colours are highly versatile, for use with techniques permitting all types of decoration by both traditional and modern methods, with no exceptions. The thirty transparent ready-to-use colours require some skill and experience for best results. The twelve water-based relief colours are soft and easy to work with, and dry rapidly. Decorating glass means building on fragility; it is a preference for intangibility, for the language of transparency.
Fabric is an important part of our daily lives. The colours and ornaments of fabrics are an expression of our own image; we sometimes feel the need to express ourselves in our clothing and ornamentation, going beyond the motifs and colours which are produced on an industrial scale, churned out perfectly and impersonally by machines and computers.
In less than a century many of us have forgotten the pleasure of unique homemade decoration, the delicacy of crafts techniques, of traditional colours and ornaments. But now that even modernity is becoming a thing of the past, contemporary man seems to want to redefine his relationship with mass production, and is enthusiastically rediscovering the pleasures of age-old techniques which can re-establish the dynamic balance and harmony between thinking and acting. And thus we discover the various faces of man, ever different and original, various in form and style, but all sharing a deeply seated content and an instinct for decoration.
This is where Idea fabric colours come in. Fifty water-based colours. Transparent, opaque, pearly, lustrous and fluorescent, they can be freely mixed with one another. They are easy to apply pure or diluted over large areas or in complex patterns. On any fabric, with any kind of brush. Bright colours or pastel hues - the choice is up to you.
The term "ceramics", derived from the ancient Greek "Kéramos", refers to a wide variety of products obtained by modelling clay and other earths then firing them and, often, coating and decorating them. The resulting products may be grouped according to the techniques and materials used: terracotta, earthenware, majolica, stoneware and porcelain. Not all these materials can be fired again to permit the renowned technique of decoration over the enamel, so other methods and types of colour have been developed over time to permit this type of decoration to be applied cold, without firing. Idea cold ceramic colours allow professional and amateur artists and decorators to make beautiful decorated ceramics without complicated techniques and costly professional kilns.
All the colours in the range are supplied ready-to-use and are fluid, easy to use and brush on. The 20 bright, glossy colours dry quickly, may be mixed freely with one another, and may be used on glass, plastic, and metal as well as ceramic and porcelain. Thinner is available for cleaning brushes, as well as a colourless varnish which has two functions: it may be applied before painting to even out an overly porous surface or applied in an even coat all over the object to fix the painting when dry.
The product is intended exclusively for decorative use and is not recommended for use on dishes and other items for use with foodstuffs.
When decorators need to gild certain surfaces, such as ceramic, paper or cardboard, delicate wooden surfaces or permeable surfaces, they need special metallic colours with extra resistance to oxidation and wear. Like Idea metallic colours, made of powdered metal suspended in resin. The best metallic colours are made this way, like the old shell gold. Solvent-based colours, authentic, strong and practical; long-lasting and easy to use.
Available in ten different metallic colours, which may be mixed to reproduce any kind of metal colour. All colours have good covering power if used pure and they absorb brushstrokes well. No special measures are necessary to apply the product with a brush: just make sure the surface is free of grease, sanded if too smooth, and, possibly, prepared with a base coat. May also be applied with a pad or sponge.
When painting items that will be outdoors, it is a good idea to protect this type of gilding with a thin coat of varnish to waterproof it. In this way you can obtain the smooth finish of metals without complicated procedures, using an easily applied, perfectly even colour.
As far back as classical antiquity poets and men of letters celebrated the colour of the noble patina which copper and bronze acquire over time. Ancient writers report that sculptures and metal objects were treated with a procedure referred to as "ganonis" which was intended to dull the overly bright sheen of newly cast metal. The patina on metals has been appreciated ever since those days. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance techniques were devised to imitate its effects, giving rise to controversy and learned dissertation on the restoration and conservation of ancient art in the Romantic age. With the affirmation of the Neoclassical style, patina became an art; even today, creating a patina and giving metal or metal-coated objects an antique appearance is common practice in the decorative arts, continuing the tradition of surface imitation which was until recently possible only with paints and colours.
Idea Patina is a revolutionary range of products for amateur and professional use which reproduce - or rather, produce - a perfect imitation of the patina of age or alteration and oxidation of metal surfaces through natural chemical processes.
A perfect patina is generated by the chemical reaction between special salts and ultra-fine powdered bronze, copper and other metals. The authentic patina is achieved by actual transformation of the metal, not by painting. With the exception of bitumen, which is soluble in white spirit, all Patina products are water-soluble, permitting adjustment of the desired effect using the most common solvent offered by nature.
