Rublev Colours Disperson Luberon Raw Umber - 2 fl oz

This raw umber is from the last remaining European companies operating the ocher deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel, nestled in a 12-mile-long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Mountains.

Dispersed in water and ready to be mixed with water-based mediums, these dispersions are specially made for use with traditional painting mediums, such as egg, casein, fresco, watercolors, 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, pigment, and water, making them ideally suited for traditional and natural mediums. Unlike other pigment dispersions 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.

Rublev Colours Aqueous Dispersions make preparing traditional mediums easy; you do not have to hassle with powders, grinding pigments with expensive tools, and calculating pigment-binder ratios to make water-based paint. They make adding the right amount of paint binder simple and easy. For example, preparing egg tempera has never been easier because the dispersion makes measuring the right amount of pigment manageable—you add egg and stir—there’s no guessing how much egg to add to the pigment.
