Michael Harding Oil 40ml - Phthalocyanine Green Lake (213)

Copper Phthalocyanine Green probably ties with Phthalo Blue and Deep Purple as the strongest pigment in the range. Atomic Tint Power, add it with great care! Ferocious acidy blue-green hues and blue undertones come to prominence in mixes with yellows. In common with the Blue it displays, on curing and when used virtually unmixed, a certain tendency to show surface bronzing. The ruination of many a student’s work, use with great caution! Always check in a good light as it can silently destroy a painting till seen in a true light when it is too late! This colour is otherwise known as the embalmer is has been the ruination of many a student work as it tends to invisibly leach into all other colours on the palette, till one stands back and sees in a good light what has happened, caution!
