Vallejo Acrylic Artist 405 Colour, 200ml, Prussian Blue

Highlights: Vallejo Acrylic Artist Colour is manufactured with the best available pigments for artists in a colour range of maximum stability and highest degree of light fastness. The pigments, organic and inorganic & such as cadmium, cobalt, quinacridones and pyrroles are dispersed in a 100% acrylic polymer emulsion. The colours do not contain additives (neither fillers nor matting agents), and dry to a brilliant, satin, or matt finish depending on the pigment. Acrylic Artist Colour has a thick and creamy consistency, and maintains the textures and volumes created with brush or spatula; they dry with a minimal alteration of colour during transition from humid to dry, leaving a film of excellent adhesion, flexibility and resistance. The pigments used to create colours for artists can be inorganic or organic. The inorganic pigments have been used since antiquity; most of them are extracted from minerals and soil, such as natural earth colours, siennas and ocres. Titanium, carbon and ultramarine pigments also belong to this category, as well as cobalt and cadmium. Many of these pigments are now also manufactured synthetically. Organic pigments have their origins in the 19th century. Industrial production developed at the beginning of the twentieth century owing to new manufacturing processes in organic chemistry. These synthetic pigments have become an important group in the manufacture of artists' colours, producing bright and luminous shades of great intensity. The range has extended continuously and now, besides the familiar phthalocyanines and naphthols, includes azo compounds, dioxacines and pyrroles, antraquiniones and quinacridones.
