Rublev Colours Lead White Pigment - High Purity & Versatile Use

Experience the exceptional quality and versatility of Rublev Colours Lead White Pigment, a highly sought-after material for artistic expression. With a long history dating back to ancient times, lead white has played a vital role in the development of art, and our version is made according to the traditional Dutch stack process, yielding a finely divided powder of high purity. The distinctive characteristics of our lead white pigment include larger particle sizes and increased variance in size and shape, affecting the oil absorption ratio, opacity, and overall consistency in paint.

Composed of 70% lead carbonate and 30% lead hydrate, our lead white pigment boasts exceptional durability and lightfastness, making it an ideal choice for various artistic applications, including oil, acrylic, egg tempera, gum arabic, and animal glue. While it may darken in sulfur-bearing air pollution, it has an excellent record for permanence and remains unaffected by light. Additionally, its low oil absorption rate, requiring only 9 grams of oil to make a workable paste with 100 grams of pigment, sets it apart from other white pigments.

Our lead white pigment is perfect for both novice and experienced artists, offering unparalleled quality and performance. Whether you're working on a new masterpiece or simply experimenting with different techniques, our pigment provides the ultimate creative freedom. Its ability to stabilize the dried oil paint film and its excellent lightfastness make it an essential material for oil painting.

Please note that lead white is toxic if inhaled as dust or ingested, and therefore requires caution and protective measures when handling. We recommend avoiding skin contact, wearing protective clothing and gloves, and following proper safety guidelines when working with this pigment.
