How it’s made
Ingredients: Water, latex (for adhesion), titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, potassium, zinc (for mildew resistance), and whatever additives that particular paint needs.
· Water is pumped into a large mixing tank. Thickening and stabilizing agents are added to prevent the ingredients from settling to the bottom of the tank or can.
· One at a time, all ingredients except for latex are mixed in. Each ingredient has a specific mixing time. This step is critical for quality.
· This liquid is pumped to another large mixing tank that contains the latex. After four to six hours of blending, the paint is ready.
· The paint goes through a series of tests testing the thickness and how well the drying agents work.
· Latex is added and a colour test is performed to ensure the proper shade.
· Another test is done to see how well the paint covers a surface. This is where any other defects will be detected.
· Once the paint has passed all the tests the paint can continue on to packaging.
· Latex paint is 60% water which corrodes metal, so the tin cans are lined with an anti-rust coating.
· The cans run over a glue applicator, get labelled, get filled, and move on to the lid press.
How Paint used to be made
Cave paintings drawn with charcoal may have been made by early homo-sapiens as long as 40,000 years ago. Paint was made with the yolks from eggs which would allow the “paint” to harden and adhere to the surface it was applied to. Pigment was made from plants, sand and different soils. Back in these times, most paints used oil or water as a base.
Lead Paint
Lead pigment was specifically wanted for use in paint because of its durability. Lead paint adhered better to wood than any other paint known. Every other pa...

Chemical Formula
There isn’t a general formula for paint, because there are many types of paint. Paints are combinations of many substances and chemicals, such as pigments, solvents, additives, and binding elements. Some chemicals that can be found in paint are resin, calcium carbonate, mica, polyurethanes, and titanium oxide.

Under normal operating conditions, Mattel requires that their manufacturing partners use paint from approved and certified suppliers with specific procedures in place to test and verify the validity of the products; in this particular instance however, procedures were not followed. It would appear that Mattel’s code of conduct called “Global Manufacturing Principles” which requires all busi...

There are several sizes and viscosities available. Paints can be purchased in tubes similar in size to oil or watercolor tubes. It is also offered in several sizes of jars and bottles.
Drawing – According to the Oxford Dictionary drawing is, “A picture or diagram made with a pencil, pen, or crayon rather than paint.” In this study a drawing is a series of marks that compose a composition done with pencil and charcoal. The drawings are made by hand and recorded in either a sketch book or on lose paper.

Metal finishing is the critical part and step in preparing the metal for painting. It happens between the bumping stage when the metal is pried, hammered, pulled, and pushed into shape and the filling stage, when the small defects and details in metal finished surfaces are filled before being painted. Any type of finish is applied over your work weather the it be solvent, powder coated, or plastic it will have an index of reflection and ...
The art of polishing nails has been around for centuries for both men and women. Nail polish or nail stain, as it was known for many years ago, started out being natural in formula. However, as the years have progressed, nail polish formulas have become more intricate including chemicals. As the years have passed, the color and purpose of polishing nails has expanded to not only nobles or those of high rank/station, but also everyday people. There are many different ingredients in today’s nail polishes. It is important to know which ingredient correlates with the four primary qualities of nail polish, specifically the ingredient that is responsible for the drying-time. Red has become one of the most popular colors to paint nails. Essie,
You cannot use simple coloring pencils or lightweight paint, one method in its history is the art of stained glass. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) talks about how stained glass gives an accurate feel of attitude for people who is passionate towards the art of stained glass. Stained glass speaks in volumes without sound in chapels to give off a holy yet delicate feeling. It’s been said that there were times of stained glass art that was imperfectly documented back in the 1900s, up to 60 stained glass businesses were listed before the time. None exist and some is known little about them (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.). Even though some documents are lost in time, the history of stained glass still found its way in interior design. It’s all started with one simple mistake. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) Many histories of the stained-glass method were told first through Pliny’s tale. It was an accidental discovery of glass by Phoenician sailors (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.) . the legend clams that there was shipwrecked sailors who set their cooking pots on blocks of natron. (natron is a salt mineral you would find in dried up lakes). The sailors use this material from there cargo and stated up fire under it. The sailor slept and overnight the fire’s heat had melted the sand and soda mixture. When morning came the mass of resultant cooled and turned into glass. (History of Stained Glass (Stained Glass Association of ..., n.d.). Glass that was discovered and use goes back to even Egyptian periods where glassed beads between 2750 and 2625 B.C. Glass beads then was made off a winding string of molten glass around a clay core that was removable. Colors such as moss green, greenish white, or tobacco yellow gives off a bright sensation with
There are two types of frescoes Buon Frescoes, and Secco Frescoes. Buon Frescoes were created by a few, sometimes complicated steps. First, they have to make plaster. Then apply it to whichever wall they want to put a fresco on. In most cases, Frescoes were made when a wall was just built, or fairly new. While the plaster was still wet, the artist painted a picture on it. To create a Secco Fresco one would have to use dry plaster, and then spread something wet, like an egg yolk, on the wall. Secco Frescoes are more simple to create tha...
The materials of black tattoo pigments are Iron Oxide (Fe3O4), Iron Oxide (FeO), Carbon, and logwood. The black pigment is made from magnetite crystals, powdered jet, wustite, bone black and amorphous carbon from combustion. Logwood is a heartwood extract found in Central America.
Permanent markers are made up of three ingredients: resin (polymer), colorant, and carrier, which is a solvent. A colorant is what gives a permanent marker its permanence and color. “Pigments do not fade like dyes nor do pigments bleed through paper.” (Allison, page 1). A dye is a coloring material that is dissolved in a solvent, such as water, to become a water soluble substance. On the other hand, a pigment is an insoluble substance. “Technically, a permanent marker need only meet these two qualifications to be considered permanent: it must use dyes or pigments, and it must adhere to most surfaces and/or be water resistant.” (Devlin, page 1). Solvents are used as the carrier in permanent markers. Resin is a substance that adds the “adhesion...
It helps in developing the pressure that is required within the container. It also provides the driving force that is needed to expel the medicinal agent out of the container.
At this point, the artist will begin painting much as he would on a canvas. It is important to prepare adequate amounts of paint for large areas if consistency in color is required. Paint can be prepared in containers with plastic lids to ensure that they will remain usable for the duration of the project.
