Michael Harding Artists Oil Colours - Phthalocyanine Blue Lake (No.209) - 40ml

Organic – Invented in 1935, Chlorinated Copper is one of the first synthetic organic pigments to be accepted as reliably permanent. It is sometimes seen as a modern replacement for Prussian Blue, but its unmixed colour is slightly more cyan, and in hues, it exhibits a unique range of throbbing, intense, greenish blues that are quite distinct from Prussian Blue. Having one of the highest tint powers in Michael Harding's range, this paint will blow any mix apart; if you wish to avoid doing so, add it incrementally and with caution! Its metallic content makes it a great drier, and like Prussian Blue, it shows a tendency to bronze upon curing. Again, use it with caution if you are a beginner.
