Product Description
Mica Lead White is a semi-opaque lead white with a small amount of wet ground mica in walnut oil that provides a stiff white, excellent for mixing with colors or for making crisp highlights. We've created this color for artists today without stabilizers (e.g. stearates, waxes, etc.) or fillers characteristic of modern whites. Wet ground mica provides crisp body to the lead white and has a lower refractive index than lead white, making it less opaque and hence well suited for mixing with other colors. Use it to make pale tints of colors without overpowering them and where crisp highlights that do not slump and level out are needed.
