Primary Elements Mica Technology (Leslie Ohnstad owner of ColourArte)

Opaque versus Translucent colors

What is Translucent paint?
Translucent (transparent or “see-through”) paint allows more light to pass through them, refracting the color. 
Opaque paints are more reflective (not to be confused with “shiny”). They sit on a surface, preventing light from passing through them. The opacity of a paint color is determined by how it interacts with a light source.
Whether a color is opaque or transparent, it is of greatest importance to painters who work with glazes to build up color, rather than mixing on a palette. Some acrylic paint manufacturers such as Golden, make it easy to judge how opaque or transparent a color is by having a swatch of the color painted on their label. 
What acrylic colors are typically translucent (transparent)?

Alizaron Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Dioxazine Blue, Permanent Crimson, Permanent Rose, Prussian Blue, Phthalo Blue, Raw Sienna, Sap Green, Terre Verte, Ultramarine Blue, and Viridian Green. 
Translucent Versus Opaque Mica Pigments:   A brief explanation of mica color coating technology. 
Mica is one of the most important mineral ingredients used in cosmetics and is now widely used by artists to add shimmer and sparkle to paints and other artworks. 
Iron Oxide Coated Mica, (ColourArte Bling IT Satin and Metal Blends) 
Bronze, Copper, Gold, and White coated micas are opaque and more reflective. Iron Oxide will sit on a surface and reflect like a mirror. Light cannot pass through. 
Titanium Coated MICA (ColourArte Bling IT Satin and Sparkle) 
Also known as Interference paint, it is coated with Titanium Dioxide and is translucent by nature. It allows 90% of light to pass through it, creating brilliant light refraction and a strong shift in color. The term interference, means that the dominant paint color changes with the light when viewed from different angles. For example, if you rub a little Interference Blue on the back of your hand the mica shifts the light to blue before you see the color of your skin beneath it. 
Cosmetic Grade Mica 
Also known as soap making mica, the color coating is adhered with a wax derivative and does not dissolve, making it a great choice for making soap. Many artists add acrylic ink as a substitute for the lack of actual color. The “color coating” is not enough on its own to achieve true color balance required to make paints. Try this test: 
Fill a shot glass with water, then drop some Pearl Ex Blue or Purple mica into the water. The mica eventually becomes saturated and drops to the bottom of the glass, while the water remains clear.
Primary Elements Arte Pigments (What is this stuff?) 
ColourArte created this dry-paint arte pigment system by milling and binding dry translucent aqueous color, micas, and other minerals. Our signature blends of brilliant translucent color bases, intensified by sparkling mica light refraction, is what separates Primary Element Arte Pigments from other simple Titanium mica powders. 
Primary Elements dry paint Arte-pigment is part ONE of a two-part paint system. 
Part TWO is left to the user to decide and the application in which they want to use it.
