Classic viridian made with the pigment PG 18, displaying that unique blue/green hue. However this is a Rublev paint and therefore has handling and a pigment load like no other. Powerful.
A staple of portrait and landscape painters, if you want a cold, almost acid, green there is no better. It has a very clean appearance due to there being very little red within it.
Rublev's description;
"Viridian is a bright, bluish green that is remarkable for preserving its brightness in mixtures. The pigment is also known as verte de Guignet from the process he patented in 1859."

I like this viridian very much. It has more body than Michael Harding's - which I also like, but this one covers so much more easily, its exiting to put on boldly. In this painting the darker greens are Rublev viridian, The rest is Michael Harding's - which has its place, also.
