Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Oil Paint – (1.25oz/37ml) Terre Verte

Terre Verte is a soft green, once also known as Verona Green as it was mined near Verona, Italy. It is a transparent pigment with a low tinting strength perfect for mixing flesh tones. 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.
