Michael Harding Oil 40ml - Terre Verte (115)

Green Earth, a complex of Ferrous Silicates in Aluminium and Magnesium clays, is one of the few naturally occurring inorganic pigments still to be offered by colourmen. It has a very soft texture with very low Tint Power, beloved of portraitists who use it as a glaze over Alizarin Crimson hues.  A popular trick is to use a little Terre Verte under the noses of portraits to get red coloured cheeks to play up as a complementary colour!
