Another craft segment that Ranger is widely known for is paint- including acrylic paint, gesso, and specialty paint. Ranger Ink manufacturers acrylic paint under the Tim Holtz Distress®, Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley, and Dina Wakley MEdia brands. Since not all paints are created equal and every craft projects has a different purpose, our brands of paint also have different properties and vary in the dry time, coverage, viscosity, opacity and blendability. Each of the Ranger Paint Brands have a different palette of colors, some including metallic paints. In addition to the differences in paint properties, the paints all have packaging designed for ease of use to accommodate different techniques. Distress Paint is available in a flip top to dispense onto a craft sheet or a paint dabber for direct to paper application, Dylusions Paint has a wide mouth jar ideal for use with a blending tool, and Dina Wakley MEdia paint is a heavy bodied paint that squeezes out of a tube or bottle. Gesso and Gel Medium are also included in the Dina Wakley MEdia line, ideal for surface prep and increased open time as you work.
Mediums to Create Mixed Media Art and Craft Projects
Mediums by definition are a type of material or supply used by an artist to create art. There are many different categories of mediums depending on your desired outcome and what you plan to create. Paints, Inks, Texture Pastes, and Collage Mediums are all categories of mediums that Ranger manufacturers. We also offer mediums that alter paints or make it more workable under the Dina Wakley MEdia brand; such as pouring mediums, cell creators, gel mediums, gloss mediums and glazing medium.
