About Lead White Substitute F:
For the historically curious painter, in a contemporary studio. Pigment White 5 (PW5) with a secondary pigment to modify the handling behaviour. Ground in walnut oil. Price per single 40 ml tube.
Lead White has a long and rich history within the tradition of painting. Many artists who look to replicate mark making within their work from old and contemporary masters may find this near impossible without various additional mediums when working with Titanium White.
Substitute F is a Lead White replacement I created for contemporary painters wishing to explore the personality of the historic paint. It is a non-toxic formulation using Lithopone White with a secondary pigment that provides working qualities approximating Flake White, which has now been phased out for artists working within the UK owing to its toxicity.
Substitute F allows for an altogether different working style compared to the standard Titanium White in rotation within most painter’s palettes today and retains the working properties of Lead White Substitute S and R, without the warmth associated with linseed oil.”
