Sapphire Blue is a popular mixed blue favored by many artists. It is a combination of Phthalo Blue + Ultramarine Blue and toned with Carbon Black + Titanium White. Since it contains both blues, Sapphire makes for a versatile base blue. Sapphire pairs well with a mixed Prussian Blue Hue (Phthalo Blue + Carbon Black).
Heritage MultiMedia Acrylics are a water based non toxic resin acrylic. The binding system contains a 360º coating agent that protects the pigment and improves the overall lightfastness of the color. Dry as needed with a hair dryer and clean up with soap and water.
Heritage MultiSurface Sealer and Varnishes contain UV inhibitors to further protect surfaces. This is especially important when working with delicate papers in decoupaged designs.
For Acrylic techniques, use with water. Out of the tube, they have an approximate drying time of 20 minutes depending on the humidity level in a room.
For Global techniques (oil emulation), use with Extender Medium. By evaporating the water out of the paint and replacing it with Extender you can add hours to the drying time. For more on this process please visit us at Global Art Supply.
