Could paint labels BE more difficult to read?🤣
With this video I hope to demystify some of the symbols, codes, and language found on most quality paint tube labels. I decided to film this tutorial because I have found that understanding what is written on a paint tube label is incredibly valuable to my art making process (both literally, like in saving money on art supplies, and figuratively, like that I simply make paintings I like better because I understand my materials on a deeper level). I hope watching through my art-nerdy exploration of Pigment Information, Opacity Symbols, Lightfastness Ratings, and Series Information inspires y’all to pull out your reading glasses/magnifying lenses and start examining some of your own paint tube labels and seeing how that knowledge impacts your art making!🤓
My tongue and my brain got tied a number of times during the filming of this video, so I hope you will forgive me and perhaps even chuckle a bit at the blunders I made (why, oh why was my head REFUSING to separate the letters B and P?!? And for heavens sakes- THIS is a semi-colon ; and THIS is a colon : 😜).
If the paint you’re looking at doesn’t have any of the 4 pieces of information I’m diving into with this video, it is likely: A. craft paint (ie. Apple Barrel paint) or B. from an art kit designed for young artists to explore the idea of painting but not learn about the art materials themselves (ie. the kits found at Wal-Mart or Costco around the holiday season). These two styles of paint are more concerned with toxicity ratings (which makes sense as the paint is intended for use by young artists) and with usage information (craft paint is used on all sorts of surfaces for all sorts of reasons). These two styles of paint can be used for traditional art making and sketchbooking, but they aren’t designed for it and therefore not labelled as such.🙂

**A REMINDER: I’m always honest about the awesomeness (or lack thereof) of the art & coloring supplies I share about in my videos. I am not sponsored in any way and only take the time to create a new video for y’all because I’m personally super excited about something new in the art world or new in my studio practice. Additionally, any links I share to supplies are Amazon affiliate links. Should you decide to bring home an art tool I’m talking about and purchase it through the links found here, a few pennies of that purchase are distributed to me. It isn’t much, but it (slowly) adds up, and it’s a lovely way to support the work I do and the content that I create. It comes at no cost to you, which is awesome, too. Thanks, in advance, to anyone who supports my art, my videos, and my writing in this way; I really appreciate it!!🤓
