Michael Harding: Oil Paint 114 Phthalo Blue & Titanium White, 225ml

Series 1. Strong light blue similar to 'Manganese Blue'. Opaque.

Michael Hardings Artists' Oil Colour Phthalocyanine Blue & Titanium White, 225ml Tube.


Inorganic & Organic Mix – I devised this blend to replace the unavailable pigment Manganese Blue, a pigment introduced in the 1950s but now no longer manufactured. This is far more intense than Manganese Blue, with a vivid, almost luminous appearance, evoking the rich blue skies of Veronese and other Venetian painters. The phenomenal tint power of the Phthalo component means that it can be hued much more with little loss of brightness. This mixture of organic and inorganic pigments demonstrates what can be attained with modern pigment strengths.
