I Play With Lead Paint

While our nation obsesses over gluten free, sulfite free, dairy free, etc. I spend hours in a basement with lead paint.

My verdaccio palette is made up of Chromium Oxide Green, Mars Black, and Flake White. My base value (1) is a combination of two parts chromium oxide green and one part mars black. Each value has a little bit of flake white mixed in.

Flake white is lead paint. They used to place a block of lead over vinegar, and the fumes would flake off part of the lead. They would collect these flakes, mix it with medium to make paint.


    

It will be touched up by next week but you can see the difference in depth already!
