Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Verona Green Earth
Rublev Colours Artist Oil Colours 50ml Verona Green Earth
Verona Green Earth is a transparent deep green oil color with sophisticated warm undertones, medium-grained and low tinting strength. The pigment is derived from basaltic tufa deposits near Brentonico and Monte Baldo, Italy.
Natural green earths, such as Verona green, are transparent and are absolutely permanent in oil. Most oil colors labeled "green earth" from artists' paint manufacturers do not contain the natural mineral but are a mixture of synthetic chromium oxide green and sometimes barium sulfate with either natural yellow ocher or yellow iron oxide. Rublev Colours Verona Green Earth contains a natural mineral from Italy, ground in linseed oil.
Verona Green Earth was used in verdaccio--a style of underpainting that uses green-grey colors to establish values for later layers of paint. Verdaccio is renowned for being particularly effective when painting flesh tones. It was popular amongst Italian Renaissance artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, who used verdaccio underpainting in his masterpiece, the Mona Lisa.
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.
