GOLDEN ACRYLICS HEAVY BODY Golden Historical Colours are "authentic recreations" of colours that have been used for hundreds of years and were considered essential to the palettes of past masters. Because of inconsistencies in the performance of these original pigments, artists expressed a widespread need for a safe, reliable paint that could accurately replicate the qualities and capabilities of the originals. Golden worked closely with art experts and museum curators to determine how these paints performed in classic paintings. Great care has been taken to match both the colours and working properties of the original pigments, while resolving the questionable production practices and improving performance standards.
Contemporary artists can now explore the profoundly distinct qualities of historically significant colours, enjoying the advantages brought about by modern chemistry: lightfastness, safe use and permanence.
The earliest of the Cobalt pigments, Smalt was artificially made from coarsely ground cobalt blue glass. The earliest use was by the ancient Egyptians. The name Cobalt comes from the Bohemian Miners who had troubles obtaining the mineral and named it 'kobolds,' their word for spirits or ghosts, which they believed inhabited the pigment.
