Description
From the very impressive range of 'Native Earths' from Wallace Seymour. This is like no other oil paint I have come across. One word - tactile.
Gritty and quite dense for an earth, it has an almost dark green masstone. When pulled into a thinner layer with a palette knife, yellowish green transparent hues emerge embedded with almost black particles of the pigment.
Quite frankly, if you covered a canvas with just this paint you would have a deeply interesting piece with subtleties and nuances I can't even begin to describe.
Although Bluestone is quite a generic name, the rocks of Stonehenge are also classed as Bluestone so who knows what magic might happen when you start using this paint.
