Day 1Understanding the characteristics and properties of your inks and paints will unlock the creative know-how of their uses, effects and applications. There is some terminology I would like you to familiarize yourself with that I will be using throughout this course. Sometimes it can sound more technical than it really is, but knowing these terms will help you as you learn each new technique. (Plus, it’s a fun way to impress your friends at parties. Kidding!)

Creative Chemistry Terminology:

Properties \ˈprä-pər-tēs\: The quality or trait belonging to an individual or thing.

Resin \ˈre-zən\: This is probably one of the most frequently used terms when it comes to the ingredient base of inks or paint. True to their definition, the composition of this ingredient vary between products and are often different chemically.

Vehicle \’ve-hi-kəl\: Any various media acting usually as carriers, or binders for ingredients or colorants.

Colorant \ˈkə-lə-rənt\: A substance used for coloring a material.

Dye \ˈdɪ\: Most often a soluble colorant resulting in a translucent effect.

Pigment \ˈpig-mənt\: A relatively insoluble colorant that is mixed with liquid resulting in an opaque effect.

Translucent \’trans-lu-sənt\: An effect permitting the passage of light.

Opaque \o-ˈpak\: An effect blocking the passage of light.

Surface \ˈsər-fəs\: An external part or layer.

Porous \ˈpor-əs\: A surface permeable to fluids.

Non-Porous \nän-ˈpor-əs\: A surface not permeable to fluids.
