Lead-Titanium White Oil Paint
Lead-Titanium White combines the excellent filming properties of lead white with the high opacity of titanium white in one oil paint. The paint is unusually smooth with a slightly ropey consistency.
Lead-Titanium White combines the excellent filming properties of lead white with the high opacity of titanium white in one oil paint. The consistency straight out of the tube is creamy and slightly ropey, yet it retains its shape as you manipulate it, remaining soft yet sculptural.

Notes
Some separation of pigment and oil may occur in Rublev Colours Artist Oils, and this is a natural process when no wax or stabilizers are added to the paint to prevent it.
All color swatches on this website are approximations of the actual color of the oil paint. We have carefully matched the color in these pictures on calibrated color monitors to the actual color. However, because of the wide variance in color monitors, the results may vary.
Color Swatch Note: The color swatch was created with a thick application of color (left side) and a tint (right side) made with equal parts of color and titanium white, applied to acrylic-primed cotton canvas.
Drawdown Note: The image of the “drawdown” shows a premixed paint film 6 mils (0.006 inches) thick, applied to a standard test card to examine color consistency, opacity, and other qualities. The drawdowns show the color’s full strength (mass tone) on the left and, on the right, mixed with titanium white at a 1:2 ratio. The bottom area of the drawdowns is scraped to show undertones.
