Emerald Green (Hue) - Handmade Oil Paint - 37ml

Description

This tube of oil paint is a carefully blended hue of the historical 19th-century color "Emerald Green (PG21)". This hue stands out from the rest of the Emerald Green hues on the market for a variety of reasons. The 1st and most important reason is that I myself have conducted research on the working properties of genuine PG21 Emerald Green and own 5 vintage tubes of it. This prior research and genuine vintage examples at my disposal has given me an advantage at getting as close as possible to the real thing with a mixed hue.
Far too often do I come across artist grade brands selling Emerald Green hues that are too green/ dark (due to the Pthalo green) or too yellow (due to the Hansa Yellow) or too chalky and opaque (due to the Titanium White). Genuine Emerald Green is a minty Green out of the tube that is very transparent. I have carefully blended 3 pigments to achieve this transparent minty hue. You can see a comparison in the last picture of this listing between one of my vintage Emerald Green oil paint tubes made by Rowney (Left) and my Emerald Green hue (Right). For the most part, they are very similar in hue and transparency. I would say the only difference is that my hue is very slightly warmer, this is to keep the color more saturated, as there is alot of white in this mixture which can cause a dulling effect. The transparency of genuine Emerald Green (PG21) is also a little bit higher. It is my firm opinion that Titanium White has no place in the reproduction of Emerald Green because it is far too opaque to match the transparent minty nature of Emerald Green.
All of my colors are handmade without additives. No driers, fillers, brighteners etc. Just pigment and oil.
