Our lead white is made with pale linseed oil and
basic lead carbonate (made according to modern
processes) without stabilizers (e.g. stearates,
waxes, etc.) or fillers to alter the
characteristics of the pigment. As a result, you
get higher pigment volume concentration (PVC)
than other brands of lead white (flake white)as
high as 50. This means most brands of flake
white do not weigh nearly as much as Rublev
Colours 50 ml tube. Yet, Rublev Colours Lead
White is not overly stiff and mixes well with all
other oil colors.

Lead white is the most common white found on the
old masters' palette. Lead pigments have been
made artificially since Antiquity, although
health concern of lead poisoning has greatly
diminished its role in paint today.

Venetian WhiteTransparency for Better Tints
Rublev Colours Venetian White Artists Oil is is a
semi-opaque white ground in a blend of pale
linseed and walnut oil that provides a stiff
white excellent for mixing with colors. According
to Salters edition of George Fields Chromatograp
hy (1869), Venetian white was a commercial name
in the 19th century for a white pigment mixture
composed of equal parts of lead white (basic lead
carbonate) and heavy spar (that is, the barium
sulfate mineral barite or baryte). The
names Venice white and Venice ceruse were also
used for this mixture as well as for pure lead
white. Weve replicated this color for artists
today without the fillers and stearates of modern
whites. The white mineral barite 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 or as a foundation for
other colors.
