Hypeness

Quem vê uma bisnaga de tinta a óleo nem imagina como o material é feito. Como o próprio nome diz, a receita leva óleo e também um pigmento – e a maneira como estas duas substâncias se misturam pode ser tão relaxante quanto observar uma boa obra de arte.

A empresa Gamblin Artists Colors é uma fabricante de tinta a óleo dos Estados Unidos e usa sua conta do Instagram para mostrar a arte que há por trás de cada tubo de tinta. Os vídeos são hipnotizantes e alguns deles parecem mesmo com deliciosos sabores de sorvete.

Alguns dos vídeos publicados pela conta chegam a ter mais de 30 mil visualizações, a maioria de artistas ou pessoas curiosas para saber como as tintas são feitas. A mistura dos ingredientes e até mesmo o momento de colocar a tinta na embalagem são tema destas fascinantes publicações, que mostram uma espécie de making of do mundo da arte.

A few scoops at a time. #gamblin #inkmaster @animalocomotion #boneblack #etchingink

Radiant Turquoise beaming on the mill. Robert Gamblin developed the Radiant #oilcolors in collaboration with painter Wolf Kahn, who uses his oil colors like chalk pastels; having high-key tints alongside pure color. #wolfkahn #gamblin #paintmaking

Printmakers sometimes ask why we don't tube our inks. Manufacturing is one of the main reasons we put ink in cans. When the fill equipment valve stops the flow of oil paint (like Burnt Sienna in this video) the paint "breaks." With ink however, there is a long "tail." Unfortunately, the tacky consistency of ink is not conducive with our filling equipment. 😔 #gamblin #printmaking #howitsmade #gamblinink

A mistura das cores na hora da pintura também pode ser incrivelmente bonita!
