Natural Pigments OLD

I specifically looked for lead paints, and Rublev makes the most fantastic paints. The quality is great and smooth, and highly pigmented as well. Nothing works as well as the lead paint they produce. I hope to buy more soon.

Thank you for your tremendous help insp

I am a big fan of the Maya Blue Oil Paint, the black-blue of indigo. This pigment has become indispensable to me for toning down the brightness of Ultramarine Blue when mixing various shades for painting water.

Thanks

Rublev Natural Black Oxide Watercolor: I’ve reviewed this paint in the past but I’ve just purchased some more and again want to mention what an excellent paint it is. It’s a lovely neutral yet slightly warm true black. It’s versatile but shows a particular strength when used to create an even matte opaque surface. I haven’t found another black watercolor like it (I live in the UK and have to order it from the USA). Rublev Nicosia Raw Umber: This is another versatile paint and, in my view, fully opaque. When applied thinly it’s a deep warm brown but when applied thickly it creates a matte surface that is warm in tone yet looks almost black.
