Gamblin Artist Oil Flake White Replacement
Gamblin Artist Oil Flake White Replacement is the first true, non-toxic alternative to traditional Flake White oil paint. It’s the stiffest and leanest of the Gamblin whites and a terrific underpainting white. Its beautiful opalescent quality is of special interest to portrait painters.
Gamblin’s stiffest and densest white, Flake White Replacement, exerts a greater amount of resistance under the brush and palette knife. It handles like lead white, which means it is “longer” in texture – with more pull, or drag, on the brush. This quality means it can easily replicate the impasto of a thickly painted Impressionist painting. This colour is a re-creation of the basic working properties of traditional lead white without the toxicity of lead carbonate, being made with titanium dioxide pigment. Its binder is a mixture of refined linseed oil and stand oil.
This colour has all the working properties of traditional Flake White: long ropey stroke, warm colour, translucency and short brush mark. Not only does Gamblin Flake White Replacement come without the lead, but it also doesn’t suffer from the fast-drying time of traditional formulations.
