Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade)
Rublev Colours Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade) is an intense, deep reddish-shade blue from the synthetic ultramarine pigment and ground in walnut oil. It is a transparent, fine-grained color with high tinting strength. This ultramarine blue is ground in walnut oil without additives to change the effect of the pigment and oil mixture. As a result, the paint is more buttery than the Ultramarine Blue Green Shade due to the wetting properties of the walnut oil. This produces slightly long brush marks due to the hydrophilic nature of ultramarine. Although ultramarine oil paint is not unique, this is a novel variation of this popular color.
Rublev Colours Artists' Oils let you experience what the old masters well understood--the unique characteristics of pigments. The pigments used by old masters in their paintings were ground from natural minerals and earths, fermented in dyer vats and concocted in alchemist laboratories. Rublev Colours Artists' Oils give you the same pigments used by the old masters prepared with linseed oil as ready-made paints.
Rublev Colours uses natural pigments or historical reproductions of pigments used by the old masters. Rublev Colours Artists' Oils are formulated to maintain the unique characteristics of each pigment in oil. The character found in each tube of these oil colors is unique due to the pigment inside, giving the artist nearly limitless choices of texture, opacity, consistency, tone and hue.
Rublev Colours Artists' Oils do not contain additives, such as fillers, driers and stabilizers--simply pigment and oil. Refined linseed oil is used in the paint sometimes with a small amount of heat-bodied linseed oil. Stabilizers, such as stearates and waxes, are not added that diminish the individual effects of pigments in oil. Therefore, you will find different consistencies from color to color due to the individual pigment characteristics, and an occasional bit of free oil. Some colors brush out long, others short and buttery and still others are thixotropic.
