Lazurite 15ml RublevColoursLazurite is an intense deep blue color from the precious lapis lazuli stones used in historical painting. It is a semi-transparent, medium grained color with excellent tinting strength.
Smalt Full Pan RublevColoursSmalt is an intense deep blue color used by watercolorists in the 18th and 19th centuries and used in painting since at least the 16th century, although it has been found in paintings much earlier than that time.
Permanence Most RublevColours Watercolors are rated I or II, according to ASTM lightfastness standard, showing little or no change in watercolors. Those of lightfastness III category may be sufficiently lightfast if they are provided with extra protection from UV light. Staining Staining is the characteristic that makes color difficult to remove from paper after it has been applied. Less staining colors can be removed almost entirely when wet or when rewetted and then lifted with a clean, wet brush and blotted up with a paper towel. Staining depends in large part on the paper and the particle size of the pigment. Staining is increased by the use of dispersants, because they act to embed pigment particles in the fibers of paper, dulling the finished color. While most brands of watercolors contain dispersants, RublevColours Watercolors do not; so staining is minimized.
Vivianite Half Pan RublevColoursVivianite (Blue Ochre) is an inky blue color from the natural mineral, Vivianite, used in historical painting. Our vivianite comes from bogs around the Moscow region, and has a dark blue masstone with a smokey blue undertone.
Verditer Blue Shell RublevColoursVerditer Blue is a historic blue watercolor that is semi-transparent and moderate staining. Verditer blue is artificial basic copper carbonate, which was popular in distemper and water-based paint during the 17th to 19th centuries.
Granulation Granulation is the appearance of visible pigment particles in the applied color, especially when the paint is diluted and applied with a wet brush. Flocculation Flocculation is the clumping together of pigment particles, typical of some colors, such as lapis lazuli. Both granulation and flocculation create subtle effects as the paint dries and are considered desirable by accomplished watercolorists. The trend in commercial watercolors is to suppress pigment textures in favor of homogeneous washes of color. Many of the pigments used in RublevColours Watercolors are composed of large particles and produce granulation effects naturally without the use of additives.
