ARTISTS OIL PAINT - 225ml TUBE - Michael Harding - LAMP BLACK 128

Ⓥ VEGAN

Lamp Black is a soft, slightly warm shade whose surface gives it a greyish aspect. 

It’s probably not the best choice for unmixed underpainting because of its tendency to move while drying, but this can be remedied with the addition of good-drying Earths.

Organic, Natural Earth – So named because it was originally derived from the soot of oil lamps,
this is pure Carbon and probably the first pigment our ancestors ever used to decorate their caves.

Lamp Black tends to dry with a matt finish, which can be compensated for with the addition of a little stand oil.

Large 225ml tube.
