Description: Gamblin 1980 Oils - Payne's Grey, 150 ml (5.07oz)
Gamblin’s approach is different. 1980 colours contain pure
pigments, the finest refined linseed oil, and marble dust (calcium carbonate).
Since oil painting began, these three ingredients have made more affordable colours. Painters experience true colours without homogenized texture
or muddy colour mixtures. Gamblin's approach to using traditional raw materials and processes ensures that artists experience the luscious working properties they expect from their oil colours. Payne’s Grey is the coolest Gamblin black. It has moderate
tinting strength and is an excellent match for popular watercolours. Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue
pigment with the most purple and least green undertone. It has moderate to high
tinting strength and beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as
vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and
produces clean, though granular, washes in watercolour. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colours in oil
and watercolour form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when
mixed with white in acrylic form but mixes well with other colours. The shade
varies based on the manufacturer. Considered a great colour for glazes, it is
not suitable for frescoing. Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic
Ultramarine is less permanent than natural Ultramarine. Because of its sulfuric content, it may discolour if exposed to acid. Ultramarine has no significant hazards. The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra,
meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to
Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on
Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive
pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was
used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently
imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet,
making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colours on their
palettes. Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a
slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any
colour and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good
properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be
used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black. Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence,
though it is considered the least permanent of the primary black pigments. Ivory Black has no significant hazards. Ivory Black is a carbon-based black first named Elephantium
and was described in the 4th century BCE as being produced by heating
ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The
deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were
made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bones. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally
permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. Genuine Ivory
Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic
variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is created as an
industrial pigment. Yellow Ochre provides artists with earth tones from cream to
brown. It has good hiding power, produces quick-drying paint, and can safely
mix with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to
more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for
frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides.
PY43 is made from natural iron oxide. Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are
some of the most permanent pigments. Yellow Ochre is non-toxic unless it contains manganese. Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning
pale yellow. It was one of the first pigments humans used, and evidence of its
use has been found at 300,000-year-old sites in France and former
Czechoslovakia.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PB29 Ultramarine [Blue]; PBk9 Ivory
