Lets just call it a natural progression of becoming comfortable with ones surroundings. Safety is largely just a “given” and often falls into the back of the mind for many people. I also want to note that this artist is very detail oriented, which put him in close proximity to his canvas or surface, which, in turn put him closer to the paint and mediums. And the realization of it was enough for him to make a conscious decision to switch mediums, and also to get information about the paints and mediums he had been using. Upon his return, the odor hit him like a wall. He had spent so much time around it that he just didn’t notice the smells of the solvents until he went away for a while on a trip.
He had been painting with oil paints for many years and eventually even began to have physical complications from it, but didn’t make the connection at first. Have you ever been working with solvents such as turpentine, or spray vanishes, fixatives and the like, and realized that the odor which you first sensed was gone, yet you were still working, or in the same room or space with them?Ī customer came into the store one day and we had a discussion about this very thing. Maybe unnoticeable, until the next time you get in and turn on the radio, and it blasts you out. At first, the volume is O.K., but as time goes by and with the noise from the city or the traffic, or construction work on the road that made you late for something, made you turn the volume up in little increments at a time. It is like listening to the stereo in you vehicle. Ultimately, it is in the manufacturer’s best interests to keep their consumers alive and using their product, as opposed to dead or hospitalized with a potential lawsuit. But this is speculation and supported by factual evidence.Īrtist’s materials have come along way with increased knowledge of dangerous chemicals, and safety regulations. I heard a discussion once that the reason that Vincent Van Gogh cut off ear was because of the amounts of chemicals his body was being exposed to, had begun to affect his mental stability. The point of this list is for is to give you knowledge about the potential dangers of the products, and maybe not the actual product itself, but something “in” it. Maybe it’s just a hobby for you, or maybe being an artist is your vocation, which could possibly put you in the atmosphere of artist’s materials on a daily basis. Not everyone deals with these products on a daily basis, if ones occupation is not to do so, but still the potential danger is there. So, an informed decision is better than an ignorant, or naïve decision. You will also notice as you read that some hazardous materials “within” the product would have to get into your system in high doses to pose a threat. A chemical called Xylene will absorb into your skin, if not cleaned off, and if it should get into your blood stream, could be fatal. It may be obvious that one would not purposefully ingest paint, but some of the chemicals can and will enter into your body in other ways, such as eyes and skin.

For instance, one knows not to drink bleach, or drain opener, or cleaners, but you would wash your hands, and any area of your skin that might come into contact with them. Maybe you were not aware of it, but I think that on some level, people are. This is not intended to scare you or cause an alarm, simply because, within your home are chemicals just as potent or dangerous, and such things are commonplace. I would like to begin by saying, the information below is not a comprehensive list, and should be considered a reference.
