- Résumé
- Acrylic emulsion paint is a common media used for canvas artwork; however, the lesser researched artwork is that of acrylic on paper. Identification of this technique can be difficult and can lead to a misidentification of the work, most commonly as a watercolor. Washing acrylic emulsion paint on paper could lead to irreversible changes in gloss and morphology of the acrylic surface; however, research into the use of gellan gum for cleaning is ongoing within the realm of conserving acrylic paint. This project explored the implications of gellan gum washing and identify if there was deterioration or changes in morphology to acrylic emulsion media on a paper substrate after cleaning. Gellan gum cleaning was to be compared with samples that did not undergo cleaning. The media of the samples examined were acrylic emulsion paints from Golden Artist Heavy Body Colors (titanium white, carbon black, phthalo green) diluted in distilled water at intervals of 2.5%, 5%, and 15% weight by volume. Two paper substrates were used: hot-press watercolour paper and cold-pressed paper. The onset of the coronavirus in March 2020 halted the research project. A pilot study was conducted and samples were prepared for future research. The eraser crumbs and gellan gum seemed to be the least disruptive to the surface of the acrylic wash under visual observation. In the initial findings of the experiment, gellan gum may be a suitable candidate for cleaning diluted acrylic paint on paper. In future research, cockling of the paper with the use of gellan gum should be addressed.
