Michael Harding Artists Oil Colour 40ml Genuine Naple Yellow Dark
This is the darker of the two Lead Antimoniates (Genuine Naples Light & Dark), closer to the shade offered by makers in more recent times. Genuine Naples Yellow Dark is a classic shade good for low flesh undertones.
Lead Antimoniate, in genuine versions, appears to have been used as a pigment since the 5th century B.C. and has been manufactured since the 1400s, becoming one of the most relied-upon colours and in constant demand. It is more powerful and yet more muted than its equivalents among the Cadmium range, and its handling characteristics are incomparable. Because it tends to react when parsed with steel rollers, to this day Micheal Harding still grinds it with stone.
Michael Harding Oil Colours are among the finest oil paints available to artists today. The colors have a high load of top-quality pigments which are ground in refined cold-pressed linseed oil. The buttery consistency of Michael Harding Oil Colours allow these brilliant, vibrant paints to be easily to manipulated. These paints are completely free of fillers, extenders, or driers.
