Cinnabar (Hue) - Handmade Oil Paint - 40ml

Description

This color is a deep red. I am offering this color as my interpretation of the historical toxic color made from Cinnabar. Cinnabar was mined from the earth and very popular in Chinese culture as well as renaissance painting. The main reason we no longer use this color to this day is because it contains Mercury, which makes it very toxic. Natural Cinnabar is slightly more dull/dark than synthetic Vermilion, which is why I include marble dust and just the right amount of bone black/ titanium white in my hue to achieve just the right effect.
It is important to remember that for all of my legacy colors, I am using only non-toxic pigments. So this means that even if Cadmium is less toxic than Mercury, it cannot and will not be used in this hue. The main difference between my Cinnabar hue and the real thing is that the real thing is warmer than mine in undertones. Mine has a slightly cool undertone to it.
"All of my colors are handmade with only the highest quality pigments and cold pressed linseed oil. My professional oil colors are all formulated to be lightfast, non-toxic, affordable imitations of The World's Rarest Colors. I have used and studied all of the colors that I recreate extensively to achieve this goal. Each color looks and behaves in a similar manner to its historical counterpart, but without the downfalls of the originals.
Made for artists by an artist! "
