Today, with the introduction of stricter standards to reduce the VOC emission and the development of automotive and industrial water-based paints, the Stardust GAMA range offers a complete range of compatible concentrated dyes.

Ochre: Ochre is one of the most common mineral pigments. Widely used in Aboriginal art, ochre is usually a red or yellow that is obtained from ore of iron or ferruginous clay. It is always necessary to do a test, because the dosage depends on the color of the pigments (+/- heavy)

There are leathers with no finish, classed as aniline, and there are leathers with a light clear finish, and these are semi-aniline leathers.

Spinels: These hard, crystalline minerals generate colors by exchanging certain ions that heat and combine with other minerals. They’re available in yellow, orange, turquoise, and blue. Natural pigments continued to be the base for oil paints until the 19th century when synthetic and petroleum-based pigments were introduced. Many artists working today use natural materials as they’re environmentally-friendly and surprisingly easier to manipulate.

Below, we explore the possibilities of natural dyes in art, how some of the most famous painters used them in their body of work, and how you can use natural pigments to create your own designs today. What is a Natural Pigment? Semi-aniline leathers have a light, clear finish, which offers little protection against spills and stains. These leathers accept color exceptionally well too. A natural pigment is one that is found in nature that is ground, sifted, washed, and in rarer cases, heated to create a desired hue. Since their inception, natural pigments served many artistic purposes for ancient cultures around the world. The first paintings, from prehistoric times, were cave paintings applied by brushing, smearing, dabbing, and even spraying techniques. Artists used whatever pigment was available to them through natural resources. This included earth pigments such as red and yellow ochre, charcoal, and white from ground calcite.
