Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Barite White
Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Barite White
Rublev Colours Barite is a transparent buff-colored pigment ground in walnut oil. It is ideal for flesh tones where a soft, mixing buff color is needed to tone down whites and other colors. It is very transparent.
Barite (UK baryte) is the natural barium sulfate mineral; other names in the literature include 'heavy spar' and 'cawk.' The name comes from the Greek word barys, meaning heavy. The name is due to its density, 4.48 g/cm3, which is relatively high for a mineral. Barite is chemically inert and has a very low oil absorption value (OAV). Barites were one of the most essential extender pigments in the nineteenth century. They were added to reduce the tinting strength of pigments, such as Prussian blue, and to improve the working qualities of a color.
Mix Rublev Colours Barite with other colors to reduce their tinting strength and to improve the handling qualities.
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.
