Muchas gracias! Cobalt pigments are a bit toxic and we should be careful with them. You can find a warning label in cadmium, cobalt and other paint tubes :)
+ your painting rags too. they are flammable if you use paint thinner. there is a small risk of spontaneous combustion. it’s just small, but it’s your home so it’s best to take precaution. so oil painters store their painting trash and rags in a flame-proof container. + your air/ventilation is a risk factor. also because of paint thinner. even the labeled “non-toxic” ones have fumes. it’s always good to have proper ventilation and open windows all the time. it’s not just during painting, but also in the room where you let your painting to dry. note that these main risk factors all stem from: 1. paint thinner 2. heavy metal pigments like cadmiums and cobalts the first one (paint thinner) can be minimized with less toxic variants like gamsol, but that just minimizes not eliminates. some artists use oils instead of thinner, like walnut oil or safflower oil (no cooking oil!). another safer alternative is water-mixable oils, with water as your “thinner”. the second one (heavy metal pigments in paints) are much less of a risk now. there are now new pigments that can substitute cadmiums and cobalts. like pyrrole red is almost perfect replacement to cadmium red. most reputable paint brands (gamblin, golden, williamsburg) use the type of cadmium and cobalt pigments that is not absorbable by the human body. so even if it was accidentally digested, it will just be flushed out of your body without being absorbed. you don’t need to use gloves while painting either. i don’t know about gamblin, but golden acrylic paints have safe level of lead too. their lead white has the same amount of lead as a glass of top water so they’re considered non-toxic. it depends on the brand, but safety is another reason to use professional-grade paints over cheap ones.

can you please speak about oil painting safety? i thought only the solvent and some metal paints were unsafe. what else is unsafe? :)
+ your painting rags too.
they are flammable if you use paint thinner. there is a small risk of spontaneous combustion. it’s just small, but it’s your home so it’s best to take precaution. so oil painters store their painting trash and rags in a flame-proof container.
