"Inorganic – Cremnitz White 1 is made with pure industrial lead carbonate in linseed oil, creating a heavy, tactile white with a robust surface. It’s name derives from its place of origin, the Bohemian town of Kormeriz, called Cremnitz while under Hapsburg rule. This is the ideal white for furrowed, granular, or impasto mark making. When used unmixed, it cures with a slight oil expression to the surface, giving it a warm, parchment-like effect. Cremnitz White No. 1 is a wonderful all-around mixer that supports middle-value hues without annulling them."

Absolute game changer. This investment is beyond worth, with the improvements you will get in blending colours. So creamy and subtle a tone shift.... I love this stuff.

I use this for subtle lightening of skin tones or landscapes with low light. It is rich and definitely pulls it's weight.

Lovely soft white goes on like a dream. Good to lighten the darks but softly.

Excellent product and very good value especially in bulk. MH Cremnitz white is a little looser in consistency than some brands but still has good body and is just as strong in terms of tinting strength, according to the tests I've made with it. I prefer it to Old Holland Cremnitz White because the latter dries too quickly for me. MH Cremnitz white is still a good dryer but doesn't dry on the palette or in the tube like some brands do. This is a lovely white and beautifully made as with all Michael Harding paints. It is so much nicer than titanium white in look and consistency.

Beautiful paint. Handles wonderfully. Lead white is vastly superior in handling qualities, as well as paint film strength and flexibility in comparison to Titanium white. Michael Harding is a true craftsman.
