[H2] About Paint

All paints are essentially a mix of pigments and a type of binder that causes the pigments to stick together and form a consistent paste. The binder determines the type of paint.

What exactly do the lightfastness indications +, ++ and +++ mean?

On tubes, labels and colour cards the lightfastness of Royal Talens products is indicated by the following symbols: +++ = at least 100 years lightfast under museum conditions ++ = at least 25 - 100 years lightfast under museum conditions + = at least 10 - 25 years lightfast under museum conditions º = at least 0 - 10 years lightfast under museum conditions These lightfastnesses have been tested under museum conditions.

I can't get my tube open anymore. What can I do?

If the cap is completely stuck, the tube can be held under hot water. The heat makes the paint more flexible. This works for acrylics as well as oil paint, water colours, gouache, etc.

What does 'granulate' mean?

Granulation is a property of some pigments and means that the pigment in the paint, after being applied, combines into small groups. This creates a "flaky" or "shifty" effect that livens up the colour surface.

What does "alla prima" painting mean?

Alla prima means that the painting is painted 'wet-on-wet'. In this technique, the colours are mixed not only on the palette but also on the painting itself. Painting will therefore have to be done quickly; no colour should dry in before the painting is completed. With this technique the paint can be thinned with the same thinner each time, or the paint can be used pure. If diluent is used, a good painting medium will achieve the most durable result.

What exactly is glazing?

Whether a painting is painted wet-on-wet or in layers, a glaze can be applied as a final layer. A glaze is a transparent layer of paint whose effect can be compared to that of a coloured sheet of glass placed on a particular picture: the picture does not change, the colours do.

What is impasto painting?

Impasto is a painting technique in which paint is applied to the artwork in very thick layers. By using impasto technique, a paint layer with a lot of relief can be created. It can be done with a painting knife or a brush.

[H2] About Drawing & writing

Are your drawing products gluten free?

If a product is gluten free, it is stated in the information on the back. This is due to enquiries from the market and the NCV as to whether our products contain (traces of) gluten, as children tend to put the products in their mouths. Gluten free is relevant to people who are gluten intolerant and therefore have celiac disease. This is an autoimmune disease that is triggered by the ingestion of gluten (the protein found in wheat, rye and barley). Our products are also listed on the Celiac Disease Foundation website.

What is the difference between a pigment and a dyestuff?

Dyestuff is not lightfast. Pigment, however, is lightfast. A drawing created with products that contain dyestuff is therefore best kept in a folder or sketchbook. If your drawing is exposed to sunlight, the colours can actually fade. This is less likely to happen with products that contain pigment.

What is a white tortillon (blender) and what can you do with it?

A tortillon is made of very tightly rolled paper and is used, among other things, to soften graphite, pastel pencil and charcoal lines and to apply shading. You can sharpen the tip of the tortillon using a piece of fine sandpaper.
