I mix all my colours from this list by mixing the colours in acetone, allowing it to evaporate and passing the residue through a fine tea strainer. Store them in 7 ml glass jars with snap on lids. Pigments vary considerably in density so I have packed them in 15ml jars which are filled and then settle, so weight and volume vary from colour to colour. More expensive pigments are sold in part jars and minimum weights are indicated.
8. BRONZE POWDERS FOR GILDING
Set of bronze powders in 7ml glass jars. Starter kit

£14.50
I use the above colours and mix all my Gold colours from them. I use Rustins clear metal lacquer as the carrier because it give an added twinkle. This is FLAMMABLE and available only by collection from my studio. It is available from most hardware stores, proce around £2.50 - £3.00. WARNING: if you put too much lacquer on the acrylic it can remove the acrylic!
9. WATER-BASED ACRYLIC GLAZES AND PAINTS
A very brief and rough guide to the use of Golden acrylics for ceramic conservation and restoration as used at Addington Studio.
Paints are made of colour such as pigment and carrier such as oil. The carrier sticks the colour onto the surface. As a general rule I mix some ceramic porcelain restoration glaze matt with the paint to ensure that the colour sticks to the surface. If I need to achieve a special effect I might occasionally use pure acrylic paint but I ensure that it is on a layer of glaze and preferably sandwiched between two layers. I do not work in the gloss because the finished coating is slightly weaker than the matt and more prone to go tacky. I try to keep the number of coats of gloss glaze to the minimum to achieve the sheen required.

I recommend that the Golden glazes are purchased in the 236 ml size as the glaze tends to thicken in the jar if kept on the workshop shelf for to long.

11. AIR BRUSHES
I have decided not to sell airbrushes because of the maintenance. I have yet to find a single airbrush that can deal with all my airbrushing requirements. In order to keep Addington Studio fully functional I run 4 airbrushes two of each of the type that I use. I use the Simair 2000C and the De Vilbiss. I prefer not to mix the airbrush that I use for solvents with those that I use for acrylics as the tiny amount of acrylic residue combines with the solvents causing a slight blockage which interferes with the paint flow and is time consuming to rectify. I have recently purchased a second compressor that has 4 airlines so that I can give classes in airbrushing if any body wishes to attend.

Airbrush transparent extender

Airbrush transparent extender 119 ml
£6.50
Airbrush medium for thinning fluids 119 ml
£6.50
Airbrush transparent extender 10 ml trial pot
£2.00

I use transparent extender to thin the glaze and paints. Transparent extender is the clear of the airbrush colour range. Its use results in a tougher film and slows the build up of gunk in the airbrush nozzle. I stick the object under a heat lamp not more than 50ºC as I build up layers, to ensure that the underlying layers of coating are dry as well as the surface. This prevents water becoming trapped under a dry surface. Many layers of gloss thinned with water will produce a tacky surface.
For further information read the Golden Artists' Colours Technical notes on Drying Sheet.

712. GOLDEN PAINTS
There are three broad types of Golden Paints stocked at Addington Supplies in well over 100 colours. There are three different carriers hence the 3 different ranges. They are known as the airbrush range, the fluid range and the heavy body range. The colours are the same in all three ranges, for example Hansa yellow medium, [basic yellow] is available in airbrush, fluid and heavy body paints. Not all colours are available in all 3 types because some pigments are not easily added to the thinner carrier. So it follows that the heavy body range has 105 colours the fluid range has 58 colours and 24 in the airbrush range. They are all mix and match so I might add a touch of fluid to a mix made for my airbrush and I regularly thin the fluid colour mixes with my airbrush colours.
As Conservators, we often require individual products for a particular job. I am happy to order anything from the Golden range that I do not have in stock.
*Set of 10 x 30 ml/1 oz Airbrush Opaque Colours (picture)
These are my preferred choice for airbrushing. Mix with the glazes to ensure that the colour sticks to the pot. Very powerful colours, a little goes a long way. The packaging is the same as the transparent range pictured below.

Set of 10 x 30 ml/1 oz Airbrush Colours available in opaque or transparent

Fluid and Heavy Body (colour charts)
The fluid and the heavy body ranges are priced both by size and series number. Series numbers are found next to the colour on the colour charts. It is well worth checking out the savings that can be made buying larger sizes of paint if you use a lot. I have built up stocks of the 60 ml tubes but you may have to wait while I order larger sizes or unusual colours. so I give a 20% discount on all the heavy body paints even those that I have in stock.
