My Warm White is my solution for the UK and EU artists who want a lead-like paint without the lead content, which is banned unless you are a certified restorer in the UK and EU. This warm white is opaque, has outstanding brushing qualities, and mixes well with every colour on the artist’s palette. Warm White is available worldwide.
