Expanding Your Marine Palette: Adding More Pigment Shades to Seascape Art

Whether you’ve mastered the six shades of the Marine Palette or crave more variety for your resin seascapes, expanding your pigment collection is a fantastic way to unlock more creative possibilities in your ocean-inspired artwork.

Why Expand Beyond the Marine Palette?

The Marine Palette provides up to six carefully curated oceanic tones, chosen to mimic the natural depths and highlights of sea and beach scenes. However, seascapes are as individual as the sea itself, and you might wish to add additional blues, greens, or even touches of sunset hues for a more personalised result. Expanding your palette allows you to experiment with subtle gradients, unique colour blends, and complex wave effects that set your work apart.

How to Expand Your Pigment Range

Resin artists looking for more tones can explore dedicated pigment sets featuring a wide array of shades. The Marine Palette already offers professional-grade, highly pigmented colourants for epoxy resin, but for even greater variety, browse the complete Pigments Sets range. These sets let you combine and layer colours, achieving just the right tones for your specific seascape vision.

Tips for Using and Blending Additional Pigments

Start with small amounts: The concentrated formula means a little goes a long way – add pigments gradually until the desired shade is reached.
Layer colours for depth: Use several tones across different resin pours to mimic the gradations of real oceans.
Match with suitable epoxy resin: For the best results, pair your pigment choices with artist-quality, high-viscosity resins like Art Pro Deluxe, which allow for better colour control and crisper wave lines.
