Selecting the best products for your child is an important aspect of honing his/ her artistic skills. There are several products on the retail shelves currently, which may lead to confusion. Products like Water-colours, Poster-colours, Crayons and more help in creating different kinds of art pieces. Parents must choose the right Skoodle stationery for their children. 

In today’s post, we talk in detail about Poster colours and what role it plays in creating beautiful art pieces.

 

What are Poster Colours? 

Poster Colours (also known as Tempera Paint in the US) is a distemper paint that usually uses starch, cornstarch, cellulose, gum-water or another glue size as its binder. It either comes in large bottles or jars or in a powdered form. The biggest advantage of them being a Value For Money paint used for art classes in school or at homes, being water-soluble, permanent and fast-drying paint mediums and opaque. Other advantage with Poster Colours is that you can add layers without disturbing the layer beneath and it can be softened with water once dry.

The drawback with Poster Colours is the “muddiness” caused by color mixing. Also, below level pigments are used so a bright colour can be actualized, but lightfastness and durability considerations are not as great.

 

Creating Art with Poster Colour: The Experience

Gather your supplies: You will need Poster Colors, water, a palette, brushes, and paper. Squeeze/ take out the Poster Colors onto the palette. Add water to the colours and mix them with the brush until you get the desired consistency. Apply the colour to the paper using the brush. Poster Colours being opaque, work very well on paper. If we talk specifically about Skoodle’s Poster Colours, they work on posters, paper and even wood because their Poster Colours are made with multiple patented pigments to create even more vivid colours. 

 

 

The brand has designed these products with high-quality pigments to give any Skoodle art piece a vibrant finish. Perfectly designed for children who want to express their thoughts vividly.
