Confused by fat over lean? Here’s a better explanation.
Let's toss out the concepts of “fat over lean” and for that matter “thick over thin” (or the confused “thick over lean”) while we are at it, and let's consider the physical structure of the paint.
To help you to understand the properties of oil paint, it is helpful to understand the relation between the pigment and oil. One way to think about the relationship between pigment and binder is a brick wall. Every mason knows there is an ideal ratio of mortar to brick. Too much mortar and the wall is weak. Not enough mortar and the bricks fall apart. Read more...

Painting Best Practices is a technical workshop that teaches skills not taught in art schools and universities—a comprehensive understanding of artist’s materials, what they are designed to do, when to chose them and how to provide considerable longevity to your finished art work. The workshop covers the most important aspects of painting that have proven to be the best practices over the centuries.
This information-packed workshop includes all aspects of constructing a painting from the support and ground to the final layers. Practical procedures are clearly explained on how to build your paintings based on conservation research during the past century. Painting Best Practices workshops are designed for painters of all mediums, but special emphasis is given to oil painting.
Painting Best Practices Workshop Three-Day Intensive Seminar
We begin with a review of the leading causes of cracking and paint loss. We review painting supports to help select the best one for your painting technique. We discuss the most suitable grounds for each type of support and factors influencing the embrittlement of paint and what artists can do to prolong its life. Throughout the workshop we recommend the supports, grounds and painting techniques that help you make technically-sound paintings.
Two new workshops dates and locations:
Jersey City, New Jersey Date: September 25–27, 2020
Westminster, California Date: October 9–11, 2020

Making Your Own Oil Paint It''s easier than you may think
With basic supplies, such as pigment, linseed oil, a spatula and a clean, flat surface, you can start making small batches of oil paint.???????
Just 2 Ingredients Needed
Oil paint basically consists of two components:?pigment and vehicle. Pigment particles do not dissolve in the paint vehicle, but are suspended in the liquid. Making paint simply means mixing a solid and liquid component together into a smooth paste. ?
If you want to make enough paint that you can store, however, you will need a muller to grind the paint. Why grind pigment into paint? Although a powdered pigment may appear very fine, it is composed of aggregates of pigment particles. The aggregates clump together to form larger agglomerates and settle during storage in the paint vehicle. Grinding breaks up agglomerates of pigment particles and evenly disperses them in the paint vehicle, thereby wetting particle surfaces more thoroughly.

Rublev Colours?Viridian?????????????? A bright, bluish green that is remarkable for preserving its brightness in mixtures???????
Viridian Green was discovered by the French chemist?Vauquelin in 1797 but it?wasn''t until 1838 that it was developed into an artist quality paint by?French?colorist Binet.?Viridian became a?replacement for the highly poisonous?fugitive color Emerald Green. Viridian is a non-toxic synthetic color, has excellent permanence and maintains its brightness when mixed with other colors.????????
"Path near the Parc de Courances",?Alfred Sisley,?1868. Oil on canvas. Private Collection.
The Impressionists took advantage of the over more than 20 new colors developed after the Industrial Revolution. Thus, the artist''s palette had?expanded to include colors with higher chromatic qualities. Numerous colors were considered opaque but Viridian was a transparent color with a high tinting strength which made it easy to mix into lead white while?retaining its strong color.?

Rublev Colours Ambassador Reviews Viridian
"The inclusion of Viridian in Rublev Oil Paints is so exciting! The color is a versatile force on the painter''s palette. It can express the most intricate subsurface color shifts in the human form, and at the same time capture the power and majesty of an ocean swell. When mix with other colors, its application stretches wide from a near pale blue to a vibrant yellow spring green. Rublev''s formulation is second to none- I highly recommend this color!" ~ Elizabeth Zanzinger, Rublev Colours Ambassador

Hues or Mixed Colors of Historical Origin??????????????
In the nineteenth century, artists began purchasing paints from artists' colormen rather than preparing their own as had been done centuries previously. This lead to the development of "hues" or mixed colors, allowing artists' colormen to increase the number of colors in their line of paints. The colormen mixed a few pigments together to get new ones, suggesting real pigments. In some cases they chose a different pigment or a combination of pigments to substitute for a color long familiar to artists, because the original pigment was fugitive, performed inadequately or too costly to use.
There are several problems with "hues" or mixed colors. One is the degradation of chroma when pigments are mixed together, for pigments do not act in mixture like spectrum hues either in color or tone. The other problem is the name given to the mixture does not give the artist a clear understanding of the pigments used in the color, as these vary according to each individual manufacturer. A third potential problem with pigment mixtures is the interactivity of some pigments that can lead to degradation.

Chrome Green? ??????? Chrome Green?is a term most commonly applied in the nineteenth century to a composite pigment where Prussian blue was precipitated on chrome yellow. Field adds that this term is used for 'compounds of chromate of lead with Prussian blue and other blue colours.' Chrome green also designated the pigment green chromium oxide, but which was distnguished from composite pigments of the same name by the terms?Native green?or?True green. Rublev Colours Chrome Green is composed of chrome yellow medium and Prussian blue according to nineteenth century formulations.???????

Cinnabar Green
Cinnabar Green or Green cinnabar is a name that designated a green copper tartrate or copper arsenic pigment of the eighteenth century. By the first half of the nineteenth century, the term denoted a composite pigment of chrome yellow and Prussian blue, providing a wide range of hues from dark to light tones. We found nineteenth century formulas for cinnabar green composed of chrome yellow primrose and Prussian blue forming the basis of Rublev Colours Cinnabar Green.

The Influence of Grounds on Painting Preservation
Jan van Goyen, View of Lieden, circa 1643, oil on oak panel, 39.8 x 59.9 cm, Alte Pinakothek, Munich
Oil paint darkens and becomes increasingly translucent as it ages. These changes may cause visible disfigurement of paintings and, although the phenomenon has been extensively studied, the causes are not definitely known at present.
One way to think of this change is to imagine your painting like a stack of colored glass that with time becomes increasingly darker and more translucent.
This being the case, underlying layers of paint may become increasingly visible, and if they are darker than those of the upper layers, they also exacerbate the darkening effect.
These changes can be avoided by painting over a white ground, ensuring that the ground is sufficiently thick and opaque and by building the painting from lighter to darker layers of paint. If it is not possible to build the layers from light to dark, than it is important to apply sufficiently thick and opaque layers, preferably with lead white.

Ceracolors: The only cold wax paint made without solvents????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Francisco Benitez on Ceracolors
"Sophie", Ceracolor and collage on panel, 16 x 16 in
"Natural Pigments totally transformed my relationship with oil painting and cold wax encaustic. I had not worked with oils for a number of years as I was very focused on rediscovering the ancient techniques of encaustic painting, as it was practiced in Greece 2,500 years ago. I had consulted with specialists like Euphrosyne Doxiadis and others, about the materials and methods of such techniques. I had been very curious about the cold wax method, practiced in many of the Fayum portraits, called ??Punic wax??. I was elated that George O'Hanlon was willing to make his own formulation of it for contemporary artists. It provides a fascinating window into the possibilities available to ancient artists, which had not been to contemporary artists. It has become a part of my working method with encaustics, as it is not bound by the limitations of the hot wax medium.
Ceracolors have the incredible advantage that they can be used as cold water-based paints, similar to acrylics but infinitely more beautiful; but after they air dry, a heating element can be introduced whereby they are given an extended life by becoming liquid again, and can be worked indefinitely. They are hybrid paints which cannot be easily categorized, which makes them ideally suited to the challenging demands of contemporary painting. They can be used for diluted washes resembling oil sketches with mineral spirits, or heavily impastoed encaustic paintings resembling the ancient Fayum portraits."

Susan Schwalb, Poetry of the Square 9, 2006. Steel/copper/brass/silverpoint on clay coated paper.?
The ancient art of Silverpoint was practiced by Renaissance artists such as?Albrecht D?rer, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci. Prior to the discovery of graphite at the beginning of the sixteenth-century, metals such as silver, gold, lead, and nickel were used as drawing instruments. As it is a beautiful and versatile medium allowing for many styles, metalpoint is becoming a popular drawing tool once again.

How to Oil Out and Correct Your Paintings with Varnish

In this free webinar, Natural Pigments Technical Director,?George O''Hanlon, will discuss the?irregular sheen on oil paintings that often results?in patchy gloss after the varnish is applied. Steps to repair this on an existing painting and how to avoid it in the future will be discussed.?An irregular sheen on an oil painting is often linked to paint with high pigment volume concentration (PVC), which occurs when oil in freshly applied paint "sinks" into the underlying substrate. "Sinking in" is a common phenomenon among oil painters, and is one of the most frequent issues encountered at the Painting Best Practices?workshop.

In his early thirties he moved from Moscow to Asia and began a journey of self discovery through practice of traditional authentic Yoga and Buddhist meditation which finally lead him to realization that representational art is his true vocation. Nowadays he continues to develop his craft as an artist and shares his knowledge and approach by teaching painting in Barcelona Academy of Art, giving workshops and private lessons and by making online instructional videos. His works are acclaimed in various competitions and exhibitions such as ARC International Salon, ModPortrait, BoldBrush and others.??????? Read more about Arthur Gain:??www.arthurgain.com.
ARTHUR GAIN?ON RUBLEV COLOURS
"I used to paint with pigments of nearly all artist grade brands but only when I've discovered Rublev Colours Artist Oil paints I realized that paint can actually make the difference and compliment skill and endeavor of the painter. One of the most exciting discoveries is Vermillion which is crucial for mixing skin tones especially when mixed with the Lead White No 1. Besides of great variety of Rublev Colours I constantly use other essential products such as mediums (my favorites are Oleogel and Walnut Oil Gel) and grounds (I use Lead Alkyd Ground).
The core of my palette consists of:?Lead White # 1;?Antica Green Earth;?Blue Ridge YellowOcher;?Vermillion;?Madder Lake;?Cyprus Raw Umber Light;?Bone Black"???????

Mars is Closer than we Think
And It Is In More Colors Than Red
?
When we think of Mars, we think of the red planet angrily growling at us in the night sky. It earthy red color is linked to blood and the Greek god of wars. The planet appears distant and non-threatening to us. But Mars is closer than you think. And it is in more colors than red. Mars is a group of synthetic iron oxide colors in a range from orange red to violet, yellow, brown and black. The variations of the iron oxide pigments are distinguished by a color descriptor, i.e., 'Mars red'.

Is There Anything New in Watercolor?
The Reeves brothers are credited with the invention of watercolor cakes. Since the introduction of the watercolor cakes over 200 years ago, manufactured watercolor paint has changed the way artists work. Artists no longer must laboriously grind pigment in gum-water to make paint and tirelessly rub hard cakes to get color.?
Not only did a series of innovations in the nineteenth century improve watercolor painting materials, but thanks to modern chemistry, the variety, saturation and permanence of artists' pigments available is greater than ever before.???????

Cesar Santos "How I Make My Own Oil Paint"
"Let me casually share how I make my own oil paints from the pigments. Getting a good reliable pigment and the best quality of linseed oil to make oil paint that expresses my artistic vision." ~ Cesar Santos???????
Paint Making Tutorial with Cesar Santos
Just 2 Ingredients Needed to Make Oil Paint Pigment & Oil
Oil paint basically consists of two components:?pigment and vehicle. Pigment particles do not dissolve in the paint vehicle, but are suspended in the liquid. Making paint simply means mixing a solid and liquid component together into a smooth paste. ?
If you want to make enough paint that you can store, however, you will need a muller to grind the paint. Why grind pigment into paint? Although a powdered pigment may appear very fine, it is composed of aggregates of pigment particles. The aggregates clump together to form larger agglomerates and settle during storage in the paint vehicle. Grinding breaks up agglomerates of pigment particles and evenly disperses them in the paint vehicle, thereby wetting particle surfaces more thoroughly.

?Sofia Darbinyan is five months old and has been diagnosed with a terminal illness called spinal muscular atrophy. Zolgensma, a miracle drug developed by Novartis, can save her life with one dose. It is one of the most expensive drugs in the world, and Sofia needs it in the next few months of life to survive.????????Sugarlift and High Line Nine are exhibiting leading contemporary artists in Birds for Sofia, an?art exhibition and benefit in New York''s Chelsea neighborhood this September. To date, Sofia's parents have raised $600,000 out of the $2,125,000 needed to pay for the drug. Our goal is to raise $25,000 - $50,000 for Sofia as well as awareness of her disease. Through targeted outreach to Novartis executives and public social media campaign, #birdsforsofia, we are hoping that Novartis will bridge the gap between the amount we collectively raise and the full cost of Zolgensma so that she can receive the life saving treatment.???????
Birds for Sofia is inspired by the sentiment of Anne Lamott''s "Bird by Bird" and the idea of tackling an insurmountable problem one step (one bird) at a time. The show is co-curated by artist Dina Brodsky.? ?? ??The exhibition features leading contemporary artists in a variety of styles and mediums, including:?Adele Renault, Alex Louisa,?Alex Warnick, April Coppini, Brad Woodfin, Daniel Maidman, Darla, Jackson, David Rice, Ellen Jewett, Hannah Yata, Jessica Pisano, Ken Goshen, Laura Kennedy, Lauren Matsumoto, Leo Mancini-Hresko, Lisa Lloyd, London Kaye, Lorraine Loots, Nicolas V Sanchez, Russell Gordon, Sara Siltala, Sarah Margaret Gibson, Shae Warnick, Shauna Finn, Steven Spazuk, Thor Grimur, Tyler Vouros, Vanessa Foley, Wendy Brockman.??????????????

As a result you get a higher pigment volume concentration (PVC) than other brands of lead white (flake white). This means most brands of flake white in oversized tubes do not weigh nearly as much as Rublev Colours lead white in our standard 50 milliliter tube. Yet, Rublev Colours Lead White is not overly stiff and mixes well with all other oil colors.

When making paint we sometimes encounter surprises. Some are disappointing. Others offer interesting possibilities. This is the latter.
Recently a large shipment of lead white pigment arrived at Natural Pigments. We inspected the pigment and its accompanying documentation and placed the entire lot in production. That evening production prepared a small batch of lead white number two-our lead white ground in walnut oil. Although the pigment's color was white, when ground in oil it was a very pale pink.???????

?Sofia Darbinyan is five months old and has been diagnosed with a terminal illness called spinal muscular atrophy. Zolgensma, a miracle drug developed by Novartis, can save her life with one dose. It is one of the most expensive drugs in the world, and Sofia needs it in the next few months of life to survive.????????Sugarlift and High Line Nine are exhibiting leading contemporary artists in Birds for Sofia, an?art exhibition and benefit in New York''s Chelsea neighborhood this September. To date, Sofia's parents have raised $600,000 out of the $2,125,000 needed to pay for the drug. Our goal is to raise $25,000 - $50,000 for Sofia as well as awareness of her disease. Through targeted outreach to Novartis executives and public social media campaign, #birdsforsofia, we are hoping that Novartis will bridge the gap between the amount we collectively raise and the full cost of Zolgensma so that she can receive the life saving treatment.???????
Birds for Sofia is inspired by the sentiment of Anne Lamott''s "Bird by Bird" and the idea of tackling an insurmountable problem one step (one bird) at a time. The show is co-curated by artist Dina Brodsky.? ?? ??The exhibition features leading contemporary artists in a variety of styles and mediums, including:?Adele Renault, Alex Louisa,?Alex Warnick, April Coppini, Brad Woodfin, Daniel Maidman, Darla, Jackson, David Rice, Ellen Jewett, Hannah Yata, Jessica Pisano, Ken Goshen, Laura Kennedy, Lauren Matsumoto, Leo Mancini-Hresko, Lisa Lloyd, London Kaye, Lorraine Loots, Nicolas V Sanchez, Russell Gordon, Sara Siltala, Sarah Margaret Gibson, Shae Warnick, Shauna Finn, Steven Spazuk, Thor Grimur, Tyler Vouros, Vanessa Foley, Wendy Brockman.??????????????

The Ancient Art of Metalpoint
A drawing medium using silver, gold, copper, brass bronze,?aluminum?or lead
"Bust of a Warrior," 1475-80, by Leonardo da Vinci, a silverpoint work that is one of the treasures of the British Museum???????
Since ancient times, drawing mediums and methods have a rich history. Today, artists draw primarily with graphite and charcoal but as graphite wasn't discovered until the early 1500's, artists, craftsmen and scribes used silver and other metals to create drawings and manuscripts. These drawing techniques are referred to as Silverpoint and Metalpoint. Silver is a harder metal than lead or tin and it emerged as a fine line drawing tool. Goldsmiths used metalpoint to prepare meticulous designs. The father of the German master draftsman and painter Albrecht D?rer was a goldsmith. He taught his young son to draw with silverpoint. At age 13?he made a self-portrait using the medium which reveals fine detail and skill.
"Self-Portrait at the Age of 13".?Albrecht D?rer. 1484. Albertina, Vienna
Artists such as Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael and Jan van Eyck made highly refined drawings with the medium.
The drawing tool is made of a thin metal rod encased in a holder known as a stylus. Silver was most commonly used but other metals such as copper, platinum and gold were also used. Silver takes 4-6 months to oxidize and darkens to a brownish black tone. When copper oxidizes it leaves a greenish tone. Because gold and platinum do not oxidize, the drawing remains grey.?
Silver and other metals will not make a mark on paper alone, as it is not abrasive. Drawing surfaces must first be prepared with a gesso or primer. Traditional primers were made with a paste of bone ash mixed with saliva or white chalk mixed with powdered pigment, for tinting, water and animal glue to bind the pigments. The primer was applied to paper, parchment (animal skin) or a wooden board. The primer creates an abrasive surface allowing the metal to be rubbed off, leaving behind fine particles.
By the end of the 16th century, the use of silver and other metals declined as graphite, red and black chalks were readily available. These drawing techniques required less rigorous preparation and were more forgiving than?metalpoint? which resists erasure and is inherently light in value. Today there is a resurgence of the use of silver and metalpoint. The technique requires skilled draftsmanship and patience and many modern ateliers and academies encourage students to become proficient in the medium. Modern materials and surfaces are economical and readily available.

On Making Your Own Oil Paint
Making your own oil paint is easy. ?Artist?paints are simply comprised of dry pigment powder and a vehicle. Water is the vehicle?for watercolor, and?oil for oil paint. To get started making small batches of oil paint all you need is pigment powder, linseed oil, a spatula or palette knife and a clean, flat surface. If you want to make?larger batches that can be stored in tubes for later use,?you''ll?need a few more supplies. In?order to?grind the paint, you'll need a glass muller, a grinding plate, silicon carbide and empty?aluminum tubes.???????

Rublev Colours Ambassador Frank Ryan on the Zorn Palette????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
View in browser
Free ShippingContactResources
Working Simply within Limits
Using the Zorn palette, Rublev Colours Ambassador painted "Bonita" in two sessions during his Life Studies Painting class at California State University?Fullerton, Fullerton, CA.
"When purchasing supplies for the winter, I decided to try Natural Pigments' Zorn Palette, which is composed of only?four?colors: Lead White, Yellow Ocher, Vermillion, and Bone Black. Named after the Swedish alla prima virtuoso, Anders Zorn, this simple selection of colors yields a surprising variety of tones making it a versatile and practical choice for painters who study from life.
I have been greatly influenced by 19th Century Realist painters, all of whom studied at some point in Paris. I model my approach on the notes on the method used by John S. Sargent and his teacher, Carolous Duran.
The arrangement on my palette proceeds in the same order, with white at the front and the pure color at the top rim, and plenty of space in between. Using the lead white, I mix a string of tints of each hue that increases in value in three distinct steps. This facilitates choices of more specific mixtures based on observations from the model."

The Traditional?Zorn Palette?
??????????????Rublev Colours Zorn Palette collection is comprised of?the genuine colors used by Anders Zorn in his paintings. Each set contains one 50 ml tube each of Genuine Vermilion, Lead White, Yellow Ochre and Bone Black. (Lists of the black color on the Zorn palette identify it as ivory black, but most ivory black sold in the early twentieth century was actually made from bone char or bone black.)

The New Zorn Palette
The Zorn palette refers to a palette of colors attributed to the Swedish artist, Anders Zorn (18 February 1860-22 August 1920). It consists of four colors: Yellow Ochre, Ivory Black, Vermilion and Lead White. Today, modern artists have substituted Cadmium Red Light for Vermilion and Titanium White for Lead White due to concerns of toxicity but mostly because these two pigments are not readily available.??????????????

Velazquez Medium
Vel?zquez Medium is a flowing paste that makes colors slightly transparent while allowing you to build impasted, thick applications of paint. When added to oil paint it does not alter the color temperature. It can be thinned with solvent or oil. Depending upon the proportion added to paint, it does not affect the drying time significantly.?Vel?zquez Medium is softer and 'longer'* than?Impasto Medium, which is 'short' or buttery.
Vel?zquez Medium does not contain stearates, solvents, driers or natural or synthetic resins, so it is safe to add to oil paint without the worry of cracking or delaminating.

?
?
Oleogel
Oleogel is a thixotropic painting medium made with linseed oil and pyrogenic silica. Oleogel is a clear pale amber gel that adds transparency and thixotropic body to oil, resin-oil or alkyd paint. Add directly to your paint to give it transparency without thinning its consistency. Add pigments or extenders to thicken it for creating impasto effects that do not sink in.
Oleogel does not contain driers, so it is safe to use in oil painting without worry of cracking. When mixed with colors, Oleogel does not slow the drying time.

Stretched Canvas vs. Panel: Which Surface is Better????????
???????Although the majority of paintings today are painted on canvas, it is not the best choice for painting-in fact they lead to cracking early in the life of a painting.
For over a hundred years, most of the causes of cracking have been explored: humidity and temperature, expansion and contraction, stress, and paint embrittlement. The symptoms were obvious-cracking and paint loss-but the causes were not clearly understood. In 1982, Marion Mecklenburg and other scientists at the Smithsonian Institute, reported the first systematic explanation of painting mechanics, and especially that of canvas paintings, while other researchers at the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) soon followed.
Canvas is hygroscopic, meaning that it readily absorbs and releases moisture from the environment. As humidity in the air changes, canvas absorbs and releases moisture to maintain equilibrium with these changes. Canvas swells and contracts at much different rates than paint layers, producing mechanical stress on paint as the environment changes. (The environment constantly changes due to changes in temperature and relative humidity.) Although these changes may appear to be small, over time they place much stress on paint, which leads to cracking, cupping and paint loss.

The Best Alternative The ALLINPANELT Oil-Primed Linen ACM Panel by Artefex
?
Artefex Allinpanel?is a professional panel for oil painting with 100% linen canvas oil-primed in Italy and adhered with BEVA 371 film to a two-sided aluminum composite panel, consisting of two aluminum sheets laminated to both sides of a black polyethylene core. This panel is 3mm thick and is available in sizes from 8 x 10 to 20 x 24 inches.
?
?
This weather-resistant panel is ideal for a wide range of paint mediums including these:
. Oil . Oil-alkyd . Oil-resin
Artefex Allinpanels offer a superior support for painting compared to wood panels because ACM?panels have very low response to environmental changes, such as relative humidity (RH)?and temperature.
What are Aluminum Composite Panels?
Allinpanel is made using lightweight but rigid and durable aluminum composite material (ACM)-two strong sheets of aluminum bonded to a solid polyethylene core. The panel is coated on one side with a white polyester finish and a mill finish (polished aluminum) on the other side. The panel is 3mm thick (without the canvas) and is available in sizes from 8 x 10 to 20 x 24 inches. Weather-resistant Allinpanels are ideal for a wide range of paint mediums.
Artefex Allinpanels offer a superior support for painting compared to wood panels because ACM?panels have very low response to environmental changes, such as relative humidity (RH)?and temperature.
"Detail, Flower Maiden,?oil on medium weave oil primed Artefex ACM panel, 16?20????????
"I've always preferred lead primed canvases due to the "lead on lead" contact that I like. The paint always seems to glide on best with oil primed canvases, but especially so on a lead primed version."

Stay Safe. Remain Calm.
We wish?you stay?safe and remain?calm while ???????we pass through this very difficult time.
How Natural Pigments is ???????responding to COVID-19.
This is probably one of many messages you''ve received in the past week about COVID-19. I do not want to repeat what has already been said many times, except for how we are responding to the challenges of the virus, and how we help you as you hunker down in your studios painting.
It is important to keep?informed about this situation as it changes daily, but remain calm and plan?for different possible outcomes. Many counties of northern California where our factory is located have orders to "shelter in place"?until April 7. However, we have not received these orders and are still operating with these mitigating circumstances:?
Customer Care remains open. We are responding by phone?and email, unless local authorities place more restrictions, in which case we will respond only by email.
Distribution Centers in the U.S. and Europe are shipping orders, although there may be a delay of 1-2 days. Our employees' health and safety is our priority, so we have advised them to stay home if they have any concerns or need to care for children that are home from school.
Health and Safety: We have taken all precautions?advised by health authorities to avoid the coronavirus among our employees. We?even made our own sanitizing sprays for use throughout our workplace and for our employees and their families to use at home.
Inventory: Almost all of our inventory is on the shelf and ready to ship, with the exception of some items that experienced delays as a result of the virus. We are working to get these items back in stock ASAP and will update our website when they are ready to ship.
Many people are asking the question: is it safe to receive and handle a shipment? The WHO and CDC have stated that the likelihood of catching the COVID-19 virus by touching cardboard or other another shipping container is low.
We are here to help you keep painting, stay?busy and remain calm. We will adjust our circumstances as needed to work through this situation with you.

Painting Flesh Tones with a Three Color Palette??????? by Butch Krieger
?
?
In the April 2006 issue of?Watercolor Artist?(formerly?Watercolor Magic), Butch Krieger introduced Rublev Colours Watercolors for the first time to the magazine''s readers. The Rublev Colours Flesh Tint Palette is a triad of traditional earth pigments, which many 18th and 19th century watercolorists used for mixing their flesh tones. ???????
?
The three components of the Flesh Tint Palette are Verona Green Earth, Italian Yellow Earth and Red Sartorius Earth. Each of these three colors is a genuine pigment imported from Italy. In other words, these are the same pigments, which the past masters used in their watercolor paintings.???????

How and Where to Use Low Tinting Colors by Teresa Oaxaca
"I''ve been making use of transparent pigments for about a year and a half now and a blog post of this nature has been on my to do list ever since. Seldom very popular (unless the paint tube is labeled the ever famous "transparent oxide yellow"), little known and less understood, most people question why someone would want to go to the trouble of producing let alone painting with a weak pigment. In the age of cadmiums and and other bright hi-keyed pigments, earth colors have at turns come into question. Why not mix down? Why settle for a lower chroma?"

Teresa Oaxaca,?The Sunset Limited, oil on canvas, 62"?42"
"Aside from the obvious responses such as "dependency, paint film sturdiness, fast drying rate, low cost, tradition, limited palette", I would like to go over some of the not so well covered reasons that I favor these paints from time to time. Some are on my palette at all times, and other come in and out. The paints I will be discussing are Rublev Colours Artist Oils or Rublev Colours Pigments, made by Natural Pigments, and include Pink Pipestone, Siderite, Vicenza Earth, Transparent Yellow Felsite, Hrazdan Yellow and Mica Lead White. I will also be presenting finished works and closeups of my paintings that feature these colors significantly enough to talk about." ~ Teresa Oaxaca

Vicenza Earth Oil Paint

Pink Pipestone (Catlinite)
Pipestone aqueous pigment dispersion is a pink clay from Minnesota; the clay stone was carved by Native Americans into pipes and also used as a pigment.?Pipestone, is dull red or pink clay stone, carved by Native Americans into pipes. Called calumets the pipes were used extensively in ceremonials. Native Americans held pipestone sacred, and even in time of war the quarries were regarded as neutral ground. Pipestone is sometimes called catlinite, for the artist and author George Catlin, who lived among the Native Americans.

Transparent Yellow Felsite ???????Oil Paint
A transparent yellow ocher from mineral deposits in the Lori province of Armenia. This fine-grained ocher originates in felsite deposits, a very fine-grained volcanic rock consisting of a fine-grained matrix of felsic materials, particularly quartz and feldspar.

Mica Lead White Oil Paint
We''ve created this color for artists today without stabilizers (e.g. stearates, waxes, etc.) or fillers characteristic of modern whites. Wet ground mica provides crisp body to the lead white and has a lower refractive index than lead white, making it less opaque and hence well suited for mixing with other colors. Use it to make pale tints of colors without overpowering them and where crisp highlights that do not slump and level out are needed.

It''s the worst of times, it''s the best of times.???????
During the crisis let''s make it the latter.
Charles Dickens'' famous quote from A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of time..." has special meaning for those living today. But this is not a tale of two cities but one of an entire planet. The little known disease that is sweeping the globe is bringing much anxiety and despair, while exhibiting courage, thoughtfulness and kindness. We want everyone to focus on the latter so that this worst of times will soon pass.
