Permanence Most Rublev Colours Watercolors are
rated I or II, according to ASTM lightfastness
standard, showing little or no change in
watercolors. Those of lightfastness III category
may be sufficiently lightfast if they are
provided with extra protection from UV
light. Staining Staining is the characteristic
that makes color difficult to remove from paper
after it has been applied. Less staining colors
can be removed almost entirely when wet or when
rewetted and then lifted with a clean, wet brush
and blotted up with a paper towel. Staining
depends in large part on the paper and the
particle size of the pigment. Staining is
increased by the use of dispersants, because they
act to embed pigment particles in the fibers of
paper, dulling the finished color. While most
brands of watercolors contain dispersants, Rublev
Colours Watercolors do not so staining is
minimized.

Vivianite Half Pan
Rublev Colours Vivianite (Blue Ochre) is an inky
blue color from the natural mineral, Vivianite,
used in historical painting. Our vivianite comes
from bogs around the Moscow region, and has a
dark blue masstone with a smokey blue undertone.

Verditer Blue Shell
Rublev Colours Verditer Blue is a historic blue
watercolor that is semi-transparent and moderate
staining. Verditer blue is artificial basic
copper carbonate, which was popular in distemper
and water-based paint during the 17th to 19th
centuries.

Granulation Granulation is the appearance of
visible pigment particles in the applied color,
especially when the paint is diluted and applied
with a wet brush. Flocculation Flocculation is
the clumping together of pigment particles,
typical of some colors, such as lapis lazuli.
Both granulation and flocculation create subtle
effects as the paint dries and are considered
desirable by accomplished watercolorists. The
trend in commercial watercolors is to suppress
pigment textures in favor of homogeneous washes
of color. Many of the pigments used in Rublev
Colours Watercolors are composed of large
particles and produce granulation effects
naturally without the use of additives.
