Using raw titanium as an alternative way to desaturate colours is especially economical when working with small quantities of paint. Modulating a colour using darker earthtone pigments to create colour matches or precise shades often results in overshooting and backtracking. Raw titanium is useful to make light, desaturated colours by simply adding single colours to raw titanium. Traditional mineral pigments are expensive and not always readily available – using blends of modern pigments with raw titanium is a very economical alternative.īlending with raw titanium is a very effective and convenient way of reducing the saturation level of a colour (making colours duller) in a very precise and subtle way. This form of titanium is very useful for colour mixing, especially when using a muted or “historical” palette by making it possible to make clean modern pigments appear more like their historical counterparts. The flow properties (which are how the paint feels and behaves when spread around or manipulated) are very smooth and fluid. Using Raw Titanium produces very opaque blends and tends to give the paint surface an unusual enamel like appearance. ![]() This beige colour is particularly convenient in portraiture as a base for blending skin tones. Raw titanium is characterized by a yellowish brown colour because it is not fully bleached out. Titanium pigment begins manufacture in a black powder form and is progressively lightened using different bleaching processes until it is pure white. ![]() Raw Titanium is a less processed form of titanium white pigment and is sometimes marketed as unbleached titanium or titanium buff. Tints made with titanium white tend to have a more subdued, “pastel” quality than those made with zinc white which retain a fuller saturation of colour. Because it is semitransparent, zinc white is more appropriate than titanium when using glazing techniques or in watercolour style washes. As well as being more opaque, titanium white has a higher tint strength than zinc white, which means that zinc white is more convenient to work with when doing precise work, as it is easier to lighten colours in smaller increments. Titanium white has much greater hiding power than zinc white. Both titanium and zinc white have excellent lightfastness ratings. Using titanium white to lighten colours produces a more "pastel" effect because more of the colour is blocked by titanium's opaque particles, producing a mix that has better hiding qualities, but less saturated colour. Because light can pass through zinc white particles, they allow coloured pigment particles in the mix to be more visible. Zinc white is a more transparent pigment than titanium white.
