Description: Gamblin 1980 Oils - Titanium Buff, 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. Titanium Buff is a light, yellow-grey compound made from titanium
dioxide and iron oxide. This popular colour is valuable in figurative and
landscape painting. As shown above, mix Titanium Buff with Portland Warm Grey
to create an orange-grey or with Portland Cool Grey to create a green-grey. Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments.
It is considered an all-purpose oil colour that is useful in all
techniques and the best all-around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor
cool, placing it between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to
cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium
White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly
than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in
watercolour form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting
strength is superior to Lead White and Zinc White. Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness. Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as
completely non-toxic. Animal studies do not indicate that it is absorbed
biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern
is with the inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's
crust. However, mineral deposits that are economical to mine are rare.
Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be
mass-produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white
pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder
brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and the Greek word tito, meaning
day or sun.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PW6 Titanium White (Titanium dioxide)
