Holbein Artists' Oil Color

Size: 40 ml

Series: B

Color: Silver Flake White

One of the first artifically produced pigments, white lead mixes well with oil to a smooth uniform viscosity, has excellent opacity and bursh handling qualities. Possessing great surface strength, it is nevertheless toxic in nature and will react by darkening when exposed to sulphur compounds of fumes. The latter reactivity is not too important as lead pigment in use is normally well protected by the oils and varnishes with which it is mixed.
