Michael Harding paints are made by hand, using techniques which date back to the days of the Old Masters. Harding will not claim that his paints will turn you into a great painter, but he does promise they will have a profound effect on your work. Your colours will be stronger and richer, and you will find the texture of the paint incomparable. You will love working with them.

Titanium White No. 1 is the most brilliant white in my range, suitable for cool, opaque light hues. This white is ground with safflower oil and contains a small addition of Zinc White in order to avert the tendency of pure Titanium Dioxide pigment to exude oil to the surface whilst drying, which then causes a more pronounced appearance of yellowing. Zinc White incorporates this free oil more effectively, as well as adding a cooler brightness to the white. If you want a strong mixer which tends to lighten hues strongly then this is it. The handling qualities are not overly subtle, but this is the white most suitable for a bright and largely cool palette. It forms a strong film when cured.

This is a 225ml tube of Michael Harding Oil Paint in Titanium White No. 1.
