Product Information

Before you choose a white paint to include on your palette it is important to ask yourself some questions. What do you want the white to bring to your work? Thinking about the properties that would be most vauable to your work will help you narrow down your choices considerably. Below is a summary of the main properties of an oil paint. Texture

For example, you could use Mehron’s Face & Body Paint, Ben Nye Master Creme Palette, or a hypoallergenic, vegan option such as Silly Cheeks. Cremnitz White is also made from lead, although no zinc is added into the mix which has an impact on its consistency. This white is notably more stringy and was preferred by artists who would rather use a pure lead colour. It is similar to pigments that would have been used by the Old Masters. This white is also fast drying. Transparent White is a semi-transparent colour that is best suited for mixing tones and glazes. It has an extremely low tinting strength and will provide the palest glazes. Transparent white has a neutral bias, contains no lead and is non-yellowing.When choosing a white oil paint to include on your palette you can be faced with more shades than you know what to do with. Although they may all seem similar on the surface, there are certain defining characteristics that set them apart from one another. Here we have compiled some useful information that should help you choose the perfect white for your palette. The consistency of your oil paint will be as important as its appearance on your palette. Oil whites can vary dramatically in their texture, from very stiff to soft. Stiffer whites will have a greater resistance under your brush or palette knife, and can be used to easily create impasto techniques. Softer whites are the most brushable straight from the tube and show little resistance to your brush or knife. Some whites occupy a middle ground, where they are workable straight from the tube but will also retain brush strokes and sculptural detail. Flake White Hue has been specifically formulated to be a replacement for the lead-based Flake White No 1. It is completely Titanium Based and avoids lead based pigments altogether. It has a lower tinting strength than Titanium white and is slightly stiffer in it’s consistency. This hue has a similar drying time to its lead based equivalent and has a warm colour bias. Use baby powder, face lotion, and 1⁄ 4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of vegetable oil. Use a clean bowl and combine equal parts white cold cream or face lotion and baby powder to create a paint-like consistency. Then, mix in 1⁄ 4 teaspoon (1.2 mL) of vegetable oil or baby oil and combine it well so the makeup is easy to apply and won’t cake up. [8] X Research source

Oils artists are faced with an overwhelming array of whites. Watercolour purists will rely solely on the white of the paper to create contrast and tonal range, and acrylics artists will commonly only have two or three whites to choose from. As oil painting has a much longer history, a vast number of whites have been developed to meet different needs of oils artists. Foundation White is opaque, lightfast and permanent. Zinc was added to this white to improve its texture – more than in Flake White. It is ground with Linseed oil and is fast drying, so it was used for underpainting. It has a warm, yellowish temperature bias. This paint was replaced by a lead-free underpainting white. Zinc White is the least opaque white, making it an ideal choice for glazing and tints. It has a lower tinting strength than Titanium white and is great for lightening mixes without overpowering them. When applied straight from the tube it will allow some of the undertone to show through due to its transparency. This makes it a great white to use to create subtle tints and variations in tone without loosing the natural transparency of your pigments. Zinc white is the stiffest white in consistency and has a cool colour bias. Non-yellowing and containing no lead, this white is slow drying and is a great addition to most palettes. It is not advisable to use Zinc White as your primary white within a painting as its zinc content makes it brittle. Discerning the difference between whites can be a little difficult if you are just beginning oil painting. Although they may look similar on the swatches on your paint tube, each white will bring different working properties to your practice. Choosing the correct white may be one of the most important choices that you make!

This white has a warm colour bias and creates much more mellow mixes than when using a harsh white, such as Titanium. These whites are non-yellowing and contain no lead. Most concealers come with an applicator you can use. But if you don’t have one, don’t worry. You can use a makeup sponge to gently blend the concealer so it looks smooth and consistent. You can use a white foundation or concealer instead. To give your face a whiter complexion, choose a foundation or a concealer that’s at least 3-4 shades lighter than your skin tone. Apply an even layer of foundation with a makeup brush to create a smooth and consistent finish. If you’re using concealer, use the applicator to apply an even amount over your entire face.

Below you will find a short description of some of the whites that will be available to you as an oil painter. Some of these whites may go under slightly different names from brand to brand, but most names will remain consistent. Different whites will have different tinting strengths, which will effect the way that your colour mixes appear in your artwork. Opaque whites, such as Titanium White have a high tinting strength. Although this is suitable for some applications, it can sometimes overpower mixes and would be unsuitable where transparency is needed. If you paint portraits you may find a less opaque white more suitable for capturing the translucency of skin tones. Similarly landscape artists that paint mists or fogs could find a low-tinting white useful. Whites with a low tinting strength are great for modifying light without completely whiting out layers below.
