Composition of paint. Pigments and their properties

We broaden and deepen the knowledge of paint's composition.

In this tutorial we will be discussing the existing pigments and composition of paint.

What pigments are available on the market, what information can you receive just by looking at their names, what does each index stand for and what is the difference between them.

We also will be looking at such properties as light resistance, transparency and penetrating power.
