How to use acrylic paint pigment？

Can I add pigment to acrylic paint?

Acrylic paint pigments are suitable for mixing with other pigments. Take gouache pigments for example. Generally, the suitable proportion is about one-third, which may be adjusted as appropriate. The content of acrylic paint pigment must be larger than that of gouache pigment. Otherwise, the color will be dull and easy to fade.

What do you mix pigment with to make acrylic paint?

According to the weight percentage (polypropylene white mineral oil: 49%; titanium dioxide: 35%; light calcium carbonate: 15%; triethanolamine: 1%), add titanium dioxide first and then light calcium carbonate while stirring white mineral oil. When all solid powders are wet, add triethanolamine. Stir them for about half an hour, and grind the mixture with a three-roll grinder into white paste.

Prepare black paste with polypropylene white mineral oil (54%), carbon black (20%), light calcium carbonate (25%) and triethanolamine (1%).

Prepare blue paste with polypropylene white mineral oil (49%), pigment blue (25%), light calcium carbonate (25%) and triethanolamine (1%).

Prepare red paste by adding the paint pigment red and yellow paste by adding the pigment yellow, according to the same procedures as those for the preparation of blue paste.

Gradually reduce the roll pitch during griding with the three-roll grinder. Especially for carbon black, which is not easy to wet, apply the roll pitch of about 1mm in the first grinding step to fully wet it. Reduce the roll pitch in the second grinding process. After grinding for several times, conduct scraping with a fine scraper until the fineness is 3-5 microns.
