Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Chrome Green
Rublev Colours Chrome Green is based on the historical hue Chrome Green, composed of chrome yellow primrose and Prussian blue according to nineteenth-century formulations. Chrome Green is the name most commonly applied in the nineteenth century to a composite pigment where Prussian blue was precipitated on chrome yellow primrose. Field adds that this term is used for 'compounds of chromate of lead with Prussian blue and other blue colors.' Chrome green is also designated the pigment green chromium oxide, distinguished from composite pigments of the same name by the terms Native green or True green.
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.
