Flemish white is a hand ground color made in the
US with pure linseed oil & Basic Lead Carbonate (PW1). This is a ropy lead white revealing a bright tone with a semi-opaque finish. The highly sought after ‘Rembrandt highlight’ effects can be achieved with its unique consistency. The brush naturally draws this white into long irregular impasto passages and this increases volume to areas where the illusion of light needs to be portrayed. This older version of lead has been painstaking researched and here it has been reproduced to match the original consistencies of our beloved Dutch Masters paints. As a foot note: Both of these lead whites are derived from the finest lead making processes available today, and both are true to their historical consistency and illumination. They are both hand crafted and require special supervision during the manufacturing process. This, in large part, causes the cost of these two products to be noticeably higher than other, seemingly, like products.

Utrecht Flemish White is gorgeous to work with. Bought a small tube in Atlanta recently and went back for the large tube a couple of days later! It is a must have lead white!
