Prior to the industrial revolution, lead whites were made using a method that traces back to before the time of Christ. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Dutch found ways to scale the making of this paint without changing the underlying process in the 13th century. Using this historical technique, every particle of Stack Lead White created is different, so on a nanoscale, every conglomeration of pigment particles behaves differently. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat’s the beauty of Stack Lead White. With industrially made pigments, every particle is identical, so conventional paints can’t be used to create the brush strokes of the whites from centuries ago.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Michael Harding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Harding","offers":[{"title":"40ml","offer_id":48756147978469,"sku":"5060154043198","price":238.73,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250ml","offer_id":48756148011237,"sku":"5060154043334","price":981.72,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8585\/5205\/files\/sharding_e98ca626-be78-4699-9526-9b84519b4c4f.jpg?v=1775631799","url":"https:\/\/seniorart.com.au\/products\/stack-lead-white-michael-harding-703-40ml","provider":"Senior Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
