Description

This is a deep and rich navy blue that has a Prussian Blue pigment base, which has been softened and lightened with a base of Barium White.

It has a deep blue tone that leans towards green, has a very high tinting strength, moderately granulating and semi opaque. The Antwerp blue is made using traditional 18th century techniques and uses a genuine Prussian Blue as the core of the pigment.

* Our Antwerp Blue Watercolour Paint is prepared with our own hand-crafted pigment *

* We use a mixture of historic and contemporary techniques to produce each pigment used in our paints *

The Method: 

| We grind each pigment with a binder, which consists of the finest Gum Arabic, Organic Honey, Glycerin and Water.

| Over the course of 2-3 weeks, this mixture is poured into half-pans. This results in an exceptional quality paint with a truly unique colour experience.

| The Alchemical Arts uses historic and traditional methods when preparing our pigments. This makes for a very organic colour range with highly authentic results. Each pigment takes on its own unique subtleties, richness, handling and optical qualities.

Ingredients: Antwerp blue pigment, gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, honey

Please note: Due to the fact that each pigment is produced in small batches, there is the potential for minor variations in shade.
