Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Mica Lead White
Rublev Colors Mica Lead White Artist Oil is a semi-transparent off-white oil color ideally suited for mixing with colors or for crispy brush strokes that do not level and flow out. This Mica Lead White Oil Paint for artists without stabilizers (ie, stearates, waxes, etc.) or fillers characteristic of modern whites. Wet ground mica provides a crisp body to the lead white and has a lower refractive index than lead white, making it more transparent and well-suited for mixing with other colors. Use it to make pale tints of colors without overpowering them and where crisp brushstrokes that do not slump and level out are needed.
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.
