Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Oil Paint – (1.25oz/37ml) Prussian Blue

Prussian Blue is a deep blue color. It was made by German chemist Diesbach around 1704 making it the first synthetic blue pigment. It quickly gained favor as an alternative to genuine Ultramarine. Traditional oils, wonderful as they are, take a very long time to dry. That’s why we created our Griffin Alkyds – they dry much more quickly and this means impasto and glazing techniques can be done in a single session. We’ve created 48 tones and these have a slightly greater level of transparency for increased depth and clarity when glazing. Our Griffins are a bit more fluid in consistency than traditional oils and they dry with a somewhat more reflective surface, too.
