  1. Oil Painting Pigment Powders | RublevColours Pigments RublevColours pigments are made directly from mineral and organic sources. Our geologist, who has many years experience selecting minerals for pigments, travels to distant locations, and hand selects mineral ores for use in our pigments. We process the minerals by pulverizing, grinding and levigating for use as fine artists’ pigments.

  2. Our Selection of RublevColours Pigments for Oil Painting RublevColours® natural mineral, organic and historical powder pigments are especially made by Natural Pigments for artists. They are the same pigments used by ancient, medieval and Renaissance painters. Each pigment can be used for different painting techniques. Whether you are a novice or an experienced painter, you’ll find RublevColours pigments well suited for use in aqueous mediums, such as egg and casein tempera, gum arabic (watercolor), hide glue (distemper) and acrylic dispersions. They perform equally well in oil and alkyd paint. Most are suitable for fresco and other painting techniques, such as encaustic.

  3. Why Use Natural Pigments? Synthetic pigments today are made to serve the paint industry, in which producing paints for artists plays a minor role. To achieve maximum desirability in paint today, pigments are made homogenous in shape, size and composition. For example, to increase the covering power of pigments, particle sizes are made as small as possible. The smaller the particles, the more the color nuances of the pigment are reduced to its basic hue, as in inks that have no texture. Particles that are homogenous in shape and size also tend not to settle quickly and separate from the binder during storage. This increases the shelf life and thereby the marketability of paint, but reduces its beauty as a color for artists’ use. As Anita Albus wrote in Art of Arts, “The result is not perfection, but sterility.”

  4. Artists’ material manufacturers purchase most of their pigments from companies that mass-produce them for other uses. A few examples include ultramarine, cadmium and phthalo colors. Oddly enough, painters are one of the few artistic groups to succumb to economic pressures and use ready-made materials. Even in the applied arts such as cookery, it is customary to produce their own stocks and sauces, even though commercially-processed alternatives are available.
