Michael Harding Artists Oil Colours - Foundation White (No. 225) - 225ml

Inorganic – Many years ago, a well-known British artist asked Michael Harding to create a lean but robust, fast-drying white that didn’t rely on extenders and siccatives for its qualities. Hence, Harding made this 50/50 blend of Titanium and Lead Whites, ground with linseed oil and combining the virtues of each. This white can be applied to either acrylic or glue-sized canvasses. Under normal conditions, the artist can paint on Foundation White in 4 to 5 days. If you find Foundation White too dense to brush on, thin it with a slight amount of turpentine.
