Michael Harding Handmade Oil 40ml tube- Rose Madder 40ml (series 6)

Ⓥ VEGAN

A favoured colour of the Old Masters.

Organic  – Rose Madder is an incredibly beautiful gift from nature. It is a traditional Lake pigment, extracted from the common madder plant Rubia Tinctorum.

Although such a terribly fugitive colour, it's included the range for its historic beauty and to help artists get closer to the pallets of earlier times.

Unless you displayed in direct sunshine, it will last for years with little change. When was the last time you saw a Rembrandt tested in sunlight, which is the criteria for the light fastness of modern pigments?
