RANGE
Over many years Brodies have selected and
developed a range of superfine pigments specifically
for theatre applications. These strong pigments
have excellent covering power and come in a
comprehensive range of 36 useful and varied
colours. Packed in kilo bags and 500ml pts
(variable gram sizes) this range is sourced from
suppliers worldwide and is priced as economically
as possible.
Many colours such as Ultramarine Blue and Yellow Ochre have become extremely popular
amongst interior designers, who need a strength of colour unobtainable from proprietary
paint manufacturers.
PRODUCT
The range has been selected for its balance between colour intensity and ease of use. As most
scenic paint is mixed by hand, it is extremely important that the dry pigment should wet
easily. All our colours mix readily with glaze or size, and ‘fluffy’, difficult to wet pigments
have been avoided. Colourfastness is good for scenic and decorative applications and many
of the colours are very permanent. Brodies superfine pigments allow the scenic and decorative
artist to achieve sophisticated results without the high costs of using some exotic or dangerous
pigments.
We maintain our sources of pigment over time to ensure a general colour match is possible,
though some batch variations can occur. Each colour has been priced individually in order
to keep the customers’ costs as low as possible.
USE
To turn pigment into paint it needs to be mixed with a binder. For scenic use a water-based,
quick drying binder is the most suitable medium. Traditionally this binder has been a glue
size, such as rabbit skin glue. This gives a dense matt distemper paint that remains water
soluble and can be scrubbed down after use. Its disadvantage is that it must be applied
warm, as the size turns to a jelly when cool.
Alternatively Emulsion Glaze provides a more convenient medium for making paint. This is
mixed in the same proportions as glue size and can be used at room temperature.
