Colour: Michael Harding Rose Madder \nPigment Index: NR 9 (Natural Red)\n Transparency: Transparent\n Lightfastness: Fugitive\n Price Series: 6\nA traditional Lake pigment, extracted from the common madder plant Rubia Tinctorum. The plant was grown in Asia and Egypt for the purpose of dyeing as early as 1500 BC. Despite its fugitive nature, its inclusion in the range is for its historic and colour beauty and is simply here to let artists get closer to the palletes of earlier times. Unless you display it in direct sunshine it will last for years with little change. A favoured colour of the Old Masters.\nMichael Harding Oil Colours are among the finest oil paints available to artists today. Michael Harding's colours have a high load of top quality pigments, ground in refined cold-pressed linseed oil. They are completely free of fillers, extenders, or driers, resulting in pure, rich, and vibrant colours that are lightfast and buttery.\nFirst manufactured in 1982, Michael Harding Artists.
