Light Phthalo Green Heavy Texture
Description
With this Light Phthalo Green Heavy Body Texture, we've done the work for you. We found the perfect ratio of Titanium White to Phthalo Green pigments, mixing the color ourselves, so you can get to painting. This aqueous green has a diverse range of shades, and is great for seascapes, adding a bit of pastel to a sky scene, or just lighting up any painting where normal Phthalo Green would be too dark. Whether utilizing our palette knife techniques, or our specialty packaging, this light green adds a vibrant warmth, as well as a soft, delicate touch.
This green is balanced and comfortable. Light Phthalo Green is opaque, with excellent lightfastness, meaning it won't diminish over time. Justin Gaffrey Sr.’s portfolio boasts an array of seascapes, ocean scenes, and natural backdrops. He set out to nail down this color, so he wouldn't have to waste time mixing when a piece called for a lighter Phthalo Green. We're so happy to present it to you as well.
This color contains Phthalo Green and Titanium White pigments. Together these two give you the light fastness of Titanium white, as well as the high tinting strength and assortments of shades allotted by Phthalo Green.
