Holbein Extra Fine Artists' Oil Color 110ml Foundation Greenish
Many artists overlook or are unaware of the advantages of underpaintings. Underpainting with a proper foundation not only provides a barrier between oil painting and primed surface, but will greatly enhance the full and lasting qualities of color. Holbein Foundation Colors will immensely improve the adhesive qualities of color applied on top and deepen the color tone.
Quick Drying (24 - 30 Hours), Holbein Foundation Colors may be used to build a foundation through application of rough but thin layers and may be used to prepare excellent impasto surfaces. Thick applications should be avoided as it may lessen the adhesion qualities of the finished painting.
Best Results: Mix Foundation Colors with turpentine, using a palette knife, to achieve a consistency similar to mayonnaise. This will result in a level application and improved drying.
