Description
A fascinating paint, a natural earth pigment sourced from Italy.
It's not technically white but in masstone more like a muted raw sienna, almost straw yellow, very gentle in hue but it has substance to it as well. It is a very gentle tinter, and produces delicate grey, biege tints. An image of it 'on the mill' is above.
I really like the delicacy of this paint, it is subtle but unlike some earths has good body too, it is perfect for the gentle greying of other colours and mixes and will be useful in both portrait work and landscape. This will be going onto my everyday palette.
