"Inorganic – Many years ago, a well-known British artist asked me to create a lean but robust, fast-drying white that didn’t rely on extenders and siccatives for its qualities. Hence, I made this 50/50 blend of Titanium and Lead Whites, ground with linseed oil and combining the virtues of each. This white can be applied to either acrylic or glue-sized canvasses. Under normal conditions, the artist can paint on Foundation White in 4 to 5 days. If you find Foundation White too dense to brush on, thin it with a slight amount of turpentine."

Free Australia-Wide Shipping

We offer free Australia-wide shipping on orders over $69.95.

Free shipping excludes bulky items and dangerous goods, which may incur additional shipping charges.

Bulky Items

Some large or oversized products require specialist or freight shipping and are excluded from our standard free-shipping offer. Examples include large easels, canvases and other oversized items.

If additional shipping charges apply, we will contact you after your order has been placed.

Dangerous Goods

Certain art materials are classified as dangerous goods and have restrictions on how they can be transported. Flammable products, such as turpentine and many solvents, cannot be transported by air and may therefore require road freight.

This can result in additional shipping charges or longer delivery times, particularly for orders being sent to remote areas or interstate locations.

If your order contains dangerous goods or bulky items, we will contact you if any additional shipping costs or delivery arrangements are required.

Great all-round white, not just for use as a primer. It's a 50:50 mix of lead white and titanium, giving the benefits of lead (easier mixing, a warmer tone and better film-forming properties) and those of titanium (greater opacity, brightness and slower drying). Lead dries too fast for me, making alterations to the painting difficult after the first day or two, but this has the perfect drying time for my way of working. This is currently my go-to white. Reasonably priced as well.
