Our Selection of Rublev Colours Pigments
Rublev Colours natural mineral, organic and
historical powder pigments are especially made by
Natural Pigments for artists. They are the same
pigments used by ancient, medieval and
Renaissance painters. Each pigment can be used
for different painting techniques. Whether you
are a novice or an experienced painter, youll
find Rublev Colours pigments well suited for use
in aqueous mediums, such as egg and casein
tempera, gum arabic (watercolor), hide glue
(distemper) and acrylic dispersions. They perform
equally well in oil and alkyd paint. Most are
suitable for fresco and other painting
techniques, such as encaustic.

Rublev Colours pigments are made directly from
mineral and organic sources. Our geologist, who
has many years experience selecting minerals for
pigments, travels to distant locations, and hand
selects mineral ores for use in our pigments. We
process the minerals by pulverizing, grinding and
levigating for use as fine artists pigments. We
travel worldwide to observe the growing and
processing conditions of the natural materials
used in our organic pigments. We inspect
cochineal gathering at cactus plantations in
Mexico, madder root in Turkey, indigo vats in
India, and logwood trees growing in Honduras. At
Natural Pigments, we remove the mystery of
pigments by disclosing their source and known
composition. We want you to gain the same
intimate knowledge that the old masters had when
they made their own paint with pigments.

Why Use Natural Pigments?
Synthetic pigments today are made to serve the
paint industry, in which producing paints for
artists plays a minor role. To achieve maximum
desirability in paint today, pigments are made
homogenous in shape, size and composition. For
example, to increase the covering power of
pigments, particle sizes are made as small as
possible. The smaller the particles, the more the
color nuances of the pigment are reduced to its
basic hue, as in inks that have no texture.
Particles that are homogenous in shape and size
also tend not to settle quickly and separate from
the binder during storage. This increases the
shelf life and thereby the marketability of
paint, but reduces its beauty as a color for
artists use. As Anita Albus wrote in Art of
Arts, The result is not perfection, but
sterility.
