GOLDEN ACRYLICS HISTORICAL COLOURS 4OZ VANDYKE BROWN HUE
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.
Also known as Cassel or Cologne earth, VanDyke Brown is an organic humus, peat, or coal that contains iron oxides. Its use dates back to the 17th century. Originally obtained from the Cologne and Kassel regions of Germany, it has since been obtained from many other locales. The pigment from each locality may vary slightly in colour and composition.
