Zinc is amazing for increasing the value without loosing the color, BUT zinc is extremely prone to cracking and even peeling. Besides, zinc white doesn't attach very well to acrylic ground. One should only use zinc white sparsely and on a very rigid surface, not a normal canvas. I love zinc white but I am very aware of its problems

Hi Someone, Thank you for your reply. We would actually recommend to get both. Maybe get a big tube Titanium, since you'll probably use way more of it in setting up your painting, and then get a small tube Zinc White, since you'll mostly use it in getting your nuances right. Hope that helps. Have fun painting!

I'm a fairly new artist who paints with gouache and have always been confused about the whites. Now I see why my colors don't come out the way I expect them to. The sets of gouache I buy (Holbein) always contain permanent white so that's what I thought was supposed to be used for mixing. Thanks for simplifying this for me.

Do not use zinc white without first researching it's tendency to delaminate from the surface of previous oil layers. Use it if you will for it's transparency, but be aware of the dangers.
@armandogavilan18155 ай бұрын
1. lead white (harder to get, and you gotta know what you´re doing, if you use it with care there´s no problem) 2. titanium, a inferior white but has its uses, specially when wanting opacity. 3. zinc white, AVOID it will ruin your work eventually.

Its just a matter of tinting strenght. I prefer much more Titanium White because its a more powerful and opaque. Zinc seems to me like weak white, and I can always dilute my paint with some medium if it need transparency. And as about the saturation of the mixture, people always gets this wrong. If you mix LESS titanium white with some color and then compare this mixture with a mixture of MORE Zinz white with the same color, as it should be so that they have the same VALUE, then you will see the SAME saturation. In other words, you can only compare saturation if the mixtures have the same value in the first place.

Interesting. If what you say is correct, then there appears to be no advantageous use of zinc white. I will say that often times when I have used zinc white to lighten a glaze, because it is transparent, I have been disapointed in the results. It often seems to not look good, where as the titanium more often ends up looking better in virtually all situations. I do think there is some use for zinc white, but in very limited situations.

What if you just use less titanium white in the mixture? Doesn't that just mean titanium is more cost effective?
@nickhall776310 ай бұрын
It's not just value, but colour intensity. With Zinc you can lighten a colour but it has more saturation than it would with Titanium.
@kidnewton6 жыл бұрын
I haven't tried this yet but what if you mix just a small amount of titanium white with the blue? Wouldn't that give you the same results as mixing a lot of zinc white with blue?
@LennaertKoorman6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you probably could mix the same tone values that way, but it will be a bit harder, beceause of it's dominance. You'll easily load too much titanium in your colour, giving you a too high tone value, and less saturation. With Zinc you can take smaller steps, which can be very easy and comfortable. Especially if the colour you are working with is like 90% there, but you just want it a tiny step lighter.
@LennaertKoorman4 жыл бұрын
@AlexP Yes you are right, zinc can give more volume to the mixture without loosing too much colour. Another difference is that Zinc is much more transparent, and Titanium is much more opaque. So as long as you are adding just a tiny bit of Titanium it's all good. But there will come a point where it's opaqueness will start to be evident in the mixture. Sometimes thats what you want, sometimes not so much.

What about permanent white? In art school I used titanium, now shopping a few years later I can only find Zinc and Permanent white. I'd ideally like to get both Zinc and Titanium...but I can't find Titanium and am wondering if Permanent white is a substitute as it sounds like it "eats the color" like Titanium does.

I love ZINC white, but after learning of its brittleness, and all the paint delamination it can cause by forming the dreaded zinc soaps, even if indeed TITANIUM eats all color so to speak, I am forced to stop using ZINC white, and use only TITANIUM.

Recent studies have shown that zinc white cracks very fast in other words it is not Archival
@theartcollective50645 жыл бұрын
Hi Casa, no worries. First of all these studies used Zinc White unmixed, which Zinc is not made for. It should always be mixed with colours. Then the cracking will not appear. If you want to use a pure white you can use Titanium. Secondly these studies were not carried out on canvas but on plastic so it’s no surprise that the dried films delaminated from the substrate after time. So as long as you use it to gently lift the tone value of colours there's no problem at all. But if you still doubting you could also use Mixing White for the same purpous. Hope that helps. Have fun painting!

@@theartcollective5064 I know we all *want* this to be true, because Zinc white is great for mixing - but the evidence leans away from 'mixing with other colours making it ok'. I wouldn't risk zinc now, and am using up my old tubes for quick studies, not long-term paintings.
