Description
Sourced from French quarries in the Luberon Massif, it has good body to it, quite dense, and its orange hue holds well in mixes.
In masstone it is a mid-value orange/brown, used thinly it produces quite luminous oranges, and although classed as semi-opaque you could glaze with this.
It has medium tint power - however it cools quite rapidly when titanium white is added, the tints are light filled Caucasian fleshy hues.
It is very good for portrait/figurative work - I have used this a lot in portrait painting, in the transition from lighter to darker areas on flesh, it has a certain richness and light to it which makes it very suitable in that scenario.
