Flake White (Stiff) has the same properties of our other Lead Whites. The only difference is it contains more pigment in oil. This gives you a thicker bodied, more opaque paint so it's more pastey on the brush. Although it is thicker it still unites with oil to form a buttery paste which has fine brushing qualities. It produces paint films of great durability. fast drier.

Occhuzzie has uncovered a lead white recipe that dates back to the Northern Renaissance period called Flemish White. Heavily used by the great Dutch painters (Rubens, Van Dyck, & Rembrandt to name a few) from the 15th-17th centuries. Flemish White is a very tacky, full bodied paint. Known for its very long ropey qualities, its like working with string cheese. Flemish White works great for areas that you want to leave brush strokes or texture. Rembrandt's self portraits are excellent examples of what you can do with Flemish white.

This is truly a specialty item, it requires a great deal of understanding of the chemistry of painting. I encourage everyone to give Flemish white a try, but remember it will take time, & patients to truly get the most out of this very special product.

Note, one of the characteristics of original lead white is that its light sensitive, not in a negative way. Lead white will brighten in natural light, this is one quality that helped in creating chiaroscuro lighting effects ( the inner glow). So when you first open your jar of paint don't be alarmed if in the center is yellow, its just starved of natural light, stir it in and will lighten back up. Also separation of the oil will occur, do not drain of excess oil, again simply stir it in, the oil is what gives it the wet stringy quality. This is a paint that takes a little extra tending to, but the outcome is well worth it.

Flemish White is a average to fast drier.

ORIGIN: Inorganic Opaque White

SAFETY:Not considered toxic; do not breathe dust

Series 1

TRANSPARENCY:Opaque

Conforms to ASTM D-4236 standards

Titanium Dioxide and all the other titanium pigments have the greatest opacity and tinctorial power of any of the whites. Titanium is the most important opaque white in use today. It is an extremely dense, powerful opaque white of high refractive index and great hiding power. Absolutely inert, permanent. Slow drying.

A very dense, creamy paint, I pack in as much pigment as the oil would allow. This gives you a much higher quality paint, you can feel its density when holding the jar.
