Viridian Green is a synthetic inorganic pigment, similar in composition to Chromium Oxide. However, unlike Chromium Oxide, Viridian contains water molecules within its crystal structure, imparting a greater degree of transparency. Sometimes referred to as Verte Eméraude, Viridian was discovered in France in 1838, patented in 1859, and made available in the UK in 1862. It is stable in all media, and offers excellent lightfastness and good tinting strength. It requires a high oil content, and dries slowly to form a hard, fairly flexible paint film.

Chromium Oxide is a synthetic mixed-metal oxide pigment. It is stable in all media and has an average drying speed in oil, forming a hard, fairly flexible paint film. It is opaque, with a low tinting strength. It has been widely available since the mid-nineteenth century, following its introduction in 1809.

Our Gesso Icon Panels are handmade throughout the entire process, using hand tools rather than industrialised machinery. 

Each board is made of lime, which has been allowed to age naturally for long term stability. Firstly, the panel is gently abraded to allow the penetration of rabbit skin glue into the fibres. Following the laying down of a specific canvas, the delicate process of building up precise layers of gesso is undertaken by hand. A final coat of water-based paint treated with wood preservative is applied and the finished panel lightly sanded, ready for painting.

An assortment of firm favourites from the Unison Colour range, valuable in both skyscape and seascape compositions.
