This set provides an ideal starting point for artists interested in exploring a more traditional range of naturalistic colors, such as those found in landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. The colors all played significant roles in the painting of the 19th century and earlier, a period when pigments derived from minerals, plants, and metals dominated. Contained in the set are a balanced range of eight transparent and opaque colors in 2 oz tubes, including Cadmium Yellow Light, Indian Yellow Hue, Cadmium Red Light, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Ultramarine Blue, Prussian Blue Hue, Viridian Green Hue, and Titanium White, plus a color mixing guide.
