Michael Harding Handmade Artsists Oil Colour, Phthalocyanine Blue Red Shade,225 milliliters

Phthalocyanine Blue Red Shade (No. 231) captivates with its deep, rich colour. Offering excellent lightfastness and a fast-drying speed, it’s ideal for creating bold, vibrant artworks. No. 231 is a red shade blue, or, put another way, a slightly violet blue with the high tinting power the artist expects of ‘thalo’ colours. Some describe it as nocturne in a tube.

• Colour made by hand using techniques which date back to the days of the Old Masters. As an artist and a painter, Michael strives to create colours that are true, vibrant and pure. The greater the pigment load, the greater the resistance to fading. Michael Harding colours are made without fillers or extenders. All colours, except as indicated are ground in a grade of refined cold pressed linseed oil chosen for its neutral acidity.
