The Early Colour Pigments

Note on making oil colours: Every pigment requires a different volume of oil to bring it to the desired consistency. In practice, it is advisable to avoid fast-drying colours that require a large amount of oil, such as Umbers, Siennas and Cobalt Blues, in underpainting, unless they are applied thinly or in tints reduced with white.
