Rublev Colours Dispersion Luberon Red Ocher - 2 fl oz

Red ocher is a natural earth containing clay tinted by iron oxide and is composed of the mineral goethite with clay and quartz, and traces of accessory minerals, such chalk, gypsum and manganese carbonate. Luberon red ocher is made by calcining yellow ocher at high temperatures for a brief period. Historically, yellow ocher was designated by the mineral name limonite.

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
