A NOTE FOR EU AND UK ARTISTS: We have received revised guidelines from The Environment Agency stating that applications for restoring or maintaining Works of Art created after 1992 cannot be approved under the REACH Regulations. Compliance with these rules is essential as the Environment Agency conducts regular audits. For information on sourcing lead paint for historic buildings, please visit Historic England's website. Thank you for your understanding. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Sincerely, MH Inorganic - Created for fun, I put this version of Cremnitz White into my range because of walnut oil. This combination of pigment and walnut oil produces wonderful qualities, a favorite of which is translucency. Another is the brushing quality, which makes painting with Cremnitz so rewarding. These qualities allow the artist to create wonderful flesh tones and thick, translucent brush strokes, thus providing the artist with a feel for the way the Old Masters painted-with ease and flow.
