The artistic Renesans dry pastels are still subject to manual production. They are dried in a fully natural way and apply top quality raw materials, including kaolin extracted in Poland, and the best dry pigments. Pastel painting sees use of dry colourful chalklike sticks, without any liquid painting agents, which are applied onto a rough surface. Pastels are composed of painting pigments with chalk, clay, or plaster for binding, which provides a soft, smooth, and easily dusting stroke. A properly created pastel offers freshness, smoothly penetrating colours, no gloss, and bright surface. Each colour is applied individually, which makes it important to have an appropriately wide colour range. Preservation of the dust falling off the surface is possible with a special fixative or a glass frame with passe-partout, which isolates paper from glass. The product range is available in 119 colours of Renesans dry pastels individually or in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48, and 99 colours.
Medium dedicated to oil paints of Polish brand Renesans. It aims to accelerate the long drying process of paint, especially shades of blue (useful for fragments of images that depict water, sky ...). The drying rate of the oil paint layer in the image determines the type of oil used in the paints, but external conditions such as heat and light are also important. It blends perfectly with the paint, resulting in even drying from the top layers to the deepest. Warning! Excessive amount of siccative can cause faster aging of the paint, and in the case of abundant use of it, premature destruction and cracking of the image. Capacity: 100ml.
