Isaro Oil Paint: Ceruleum Blue

This light blue produces a colour close to sky blue when mixed with white, hence the reference to "cerulean". A useful, if not necessary, colour for painting landscapes.

Isaro Oil Paints are handcrafted in Belgium by Isabel Roelofs, who comes from two generations of paintmakers and is a descendant of well-known Belgian artist, Willem Roelofs.

Isaro oil paints are made from carefully selected lightfast pigments. Isabel's rich colourmaking history means she has a fascination with pigments, choosing her range from classical pigments (cadmium, cobalt, iron oxide, etc.), modern pigments (quinacridones, dioxazine, DPP, etc.), and historical pigments (cochineal, indigo, smalt, azurite, etc). Isaro deals directly with pigment manufacturers and requires information on all the characteristics of each selected pigment before they are purchased.

All the oil colours in the Isaro range are made with pure linseed oil. This has been chosen for its high colour saturation and for how it produces a very resistant protective film, called linoxyn.

Isaro Oil Paints are available in 47 colours in 38ml tubes. Titanium White and Zinc White are also available in 56ml tubes.
