Michael Harding Artists Oil Colours - Unbleached Titanium Dioxide (No. 117) - 40ml

Inorganic – No. 117 is manufactured using a chemical process different from the standard rutile titanium dioxide, giving it a subtle linen or lime wash, pinky-brown shade. This paint is an ideal ground or underpainting colour, with good texture and a lean surface. Its real power comes from its ability to mix into any colour, providing a “suede” effect that lends well to pastels and rich textures. Many years ago, a well-known English artist asked me to make him special batches of this colour. When his fellow artists saw it, it became part of our regular range and has proven hugely popular.
