Rublev Colours Dispersion Antica (Prun) Green Earth - 2 fl oz

Delivers the same pigment used in dry powder, oil paint, and watercolour, pre-dispersed in water and ready to mix with any water-based painting medium. Shake well before use; some settling is normal in a dispersion with no added fillers. The dispersion is formulated to resist freezing and microbial spoilage in storage, using the stabilization approach appropriate to natural mineral pigments — different from the methods we use for modern synthetic pigments in the same dispersion range.

These dispersions are especially made for use with traditional painting mediums, such as egg tempera, casein tempera, fresco, watercolours and distemper (glue tempera). They are also ideally suited for use with gesso to make toned grounds for drawing and painting. Pigment dispersions from Rublev Colours contain only naturally-derived ingredients, in addition to pigment and water, making them ideally suited for traditional mediums. Unlike other pigment dispersions that are typically made for acrylic medium, Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions do not contain coalescent solvents, artificial dispersing resins and other additives that interfere with natural mediums.

Aqueous Dispersions make preparing traditional mediums easy; you do not have to hassle with powders, grinding pigments in medium and calculating binder ratios to make water-based paint. They make adding the right amount of paint binder, such as egg yolk, a no brainer because the right amount of water is already contained in the dispersion, simply add egg yolk.
