Rublev Colours Pigment Cinnabar (Nikitovka) - 10 g

Cinnabar, a dense red mineral, is the principal ore of the metal mercury, usually described as an intense reddish orange or sometimes as a dark reddish purple. Cinnabar varies in masstone color from strong red to vivid reddish orange in Munsell range from 5R to 7.5R.

Cinnabar absorbs a low amount of linseed oil when grinding the pigment in this medium. Linseed oil is very slow drying with cinnabar, yet it produces a strong paint film.
