About product

A paint set for gold painted with the non-metallic metal technique

This is a set of modeling paints from the Italian brand Lifecolor put together for the technique known by the abbreviation NMM, that is non-metallic metal. Its principle is simple and at the same time demanding to carry out: the sheen of metal is not created by a metallic paint but by draftsmanship. The painter lays out the lights and the shadows so that the eye fills in the reflection by itself. This set aims at a gold surface. The specific list of shades, the number of bottles and the volume are given by the manufacturer on the packaging of the set.

What the set is suited to

Non-metallic metal is used above all on figures and busts, where a metallic paint on a small area often looks grainy and dead. A painted reflection, by contrast, holds the drawing even under hard light and in a photograph. The set saves mixing, because the shades from the deepest shadow to the highest light are matched in advance and follow on from one another.

Recommended procedure

  • Lay out in advance where the light falls from, the whole effect rests on it.
  • Paint in thin layers and blur the transitions, a hard edge gives the effect away.
  • Leave the highest light and the deepest shadow for the end and use them sparingly.
  • Stir the contents of the bottle before use, the pigment settles to the bottom.
  • Handle thinning and cleaning according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Who the set is for

For figure and bust painters who want to master non-metallic metal without the long work of mixing a scale of their own. The technique calls for patience and a steady hand, so a beginner should try it out on a less conspicuous part first.

Keep the paints out of the reach of children, ventilate the area while you work and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions on the packaging.
