313 Indanthrone Blue Michael Harding Oil Colour, 40ml tube. 5% off.

Series 3. Beautiful Indanthrone Blue was invented in 1901 as a synthetic dye that resists fading. Its popularity came about because of this resistance and a need for it in the automotive industry. Im attracted to it because its inky and interesting! This blue is essential for those wishing to expand their understanding of such a hypnotic shade. Blue can have a strong psychological effect on artists, from the shades of Lapis Lazuli through intense Phthalocyanines to the shade of Indanthrone Blue. When I recently painted a nocturn using my Indanthrone Blue, it fulfilled my needs, producing an almost narcotic effect upon me, like a poetic musical note! MH Indanthrone Blue is a strong inter-mixer. I so enjoy getting little surprises of colour when mixing with whites, yellows, and reds. Because my oil paints are not compromised by dryers, fillers, or extenders, mixing a few colours together leads to interesting colour outcomes! Try it!
