Product Details:

50 ml (1.69 fl oz) tube

Rublev Colours Lead White #2 ground in filtered, pale walnut oil is an opaque white that is soft and buttery. Lead White #2 is a brighter white than our first lead white, because of the paler walnut oil.

Our lead white is made with pale walnut oil and basic lead carbonate (made according to modern processes) without stearates or fillers to alter the characteristics of the pigment. As a result you get higher pigment volume concentration (PVC) than other brands of lead white (flake white) -- as high as 45%. This means most brands of flake white do not weigh nearly as much as Rublev Colours 50 ml tube. Yet, Rublev Colours Lead White is not stiff and mixes well with all other oil colors.

Lead white is the most common white found on the old masters' palette. Lead pigments have been made artificially since antiquity, although health concerns of lead poisoning has greatly diminished its role in paint today.

Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours.
