Orpiment PY39 (Mineral) - Artist Grade Handmade Honey Based Watercolor Tube 15ml

Orpiment (PY39 CI#77086)

The name "Orpiment" is derived from the Latin word Auripigmentum, which means gold pigment, referring to its color and historical use as a golden-yellow pigment. This mineral can form unique combinations with bright red Realgar.

Orpiment was used as a pigment in ancient times but was replaced due to its toxicity.

Made from the mineral - Orpiment. No additional pigment was added.

Light Fastness: 8/8

*Warning: Don't lick the paint off your fingers.

!!Watercolor pigments are packaged in 20ml tubes for optimal storage and preservation!! Due to the absence of fillers in the watercolor medium, the binder and pigment naturally separate into distinct layers during storage. To obtain the pure mineral pigment, carefully express the binder layer that accumulates at the top of the tube, leaving the concentrated pigment material for your artistic applications.
