Rublev Artists Oil Colours , we offer, are different from other commercial oil colors. One reason is we use natural and historical pigments for formulating the Rublev Artists Oil Colour, like those used by the old masters- without adding any modern additives. Rublev Colours Artists Oils are formulated to maintain the unique characteristics of each pigment in oil. What the user will find in each tube is uniqueness due to the pigment inside, giving a new choice of texture, opacity, consistency, tone and hue. With Rublev Artists Oil Colour, the user experiences transparency of yellow ocher, the pale coolness of green earths, and the crystalline glitter of blue azurite. Highlights Color Particle by Particle : The particles of natural pigments are larger and more varied than pigments in modern artist's oil colors. When we remember how crystalline pigments, such as azurite, malachite, lazurite, were used in old masters paintings, it is easy to understand how these beautiful surfaces with broken lights were obtained. An examination, for instance, of azurite particles under the microscope at once reveals the beautiful mass of blue and blue-green crystals, reflecting light in all directions, and thus of course enhancing the visual effect. No Additives : Rublev Artists Oil Colours, we offer, do not contain additives, such as fillers, driers and stabilizerssimply pigment and oil. We use linseed oil in our paint sometimes with a small amount of heat-bodied linseed oil. Stabilizers, such as stearates and waxes that diminish the individual effects of pigments are not added. The user will find different consistencies from color to color due to individual pigment characteristics. Some colors brush out long, others short and buttery and still others are thixotropic. Overall, Rublev Colours Artists Oils have longer brushing consistency than most tube colors today, making them ideal for both bristle and soft-hair brushes in fine rendering on both fine-weave canvas and smooth panels. Single Pigment Colors : When the user sees a color name on our label, s/he gets just that one pure pigment. For example, Rublev Colours Vermilion is not hue, but the pigment pure red mercuric sulfide. In a tube of Rublev Colours Green Earth the user will not find a mixture of pigments, but the real thing green earth. And Rublev Colours Naples Yellow is pure lead antimonate. The user wont even find the word genuine used to describe Rublev Colours, because all colors are simply that genuine. All our earth colors have outstanding light-fastness and most of the others are permanent when used full strength. Rublev Colours Artists Oils offer an extraordinary range of tinting strength and an immense diversity between opacity and transparency. Download

It may be interesting to know that the production of hair and bristle brushes in Germany can be traced back to as early the 18th century, with fine brushes been made especially in the Bechhofen and Burk area. Ever since and up to our present day and time, animal hair imported from various parts of both Europe and Asia, has been and is used for the production of brushes. The following will give you some more detailed information on the most used types of hair. Red sable hair : Red Sable hair comes from the tails of different members of the weasel family. This type of hair is the most elastic hair and it is, therefore, best suited for artists’ brushes. Brushes made from this material are unparalleled for their fineness and durability. Kolinsky Hair : Kolinsky is absolutely the best natural hair for artists’ brushes. It comes from the tails of Siberian Kolinsky martens. Imitation Sable Hair (Sabeline) : The often called Red Sable imitation is made from ox ear hair which is dyed in a color similar to that of red sable hair. Only ox ear hair with the best tips is suited for this purpose. Ox Ear hair : Is fine, elastic and with best tips. It is particularly qualified for the production of sign writer-, lining brushes, oil artists’ brights, rounds and flats and last but not least for lacquering brushes. Fitch hair : Fitch Hair comes from the Polecat. This hair is black- grayish color and is short in length. Its fineness and elasticity is almost up the quality of red sable hair. Artists’ brushes such as oil painting brushes, china painting brushes and best water color brushes are made from this type of natural hair. Squirrel : Squirrel hair comes from the tails of different species of squirrels. Hair from the Kasan Squirrel which lives in East Russia is used for brushes that serve for painting on smooth surfaces in the china and glassware industry. Talutky squirrel have the longest hair of all squirrels. Their quality matches that of Kasan squirrel hair. Talutky squirrel hair has its special use in the production of writing brushes and liners. Hair from Canadian squirrels is generally of short length and of a yellow-blackish color. This hair has particularly fine tips and is used for quality water color brushes. Pony hair : Pony hair comes from Japan and China. This hair is available in different shades, from light red to dark brown and black. Although it is equally a soft material, it is not as fine and resilient as squirrel hair. This is why only regular water color brushes are made of this type of material. Goat hair : Goat hair comes from China and India. This is grey, brown, black or white in color. Larger sized brushes such as mops and flats and cosmetic brushes are made of goat hair. (Hog) bristles : The best qualities come from the highlands in north- Easter part of China. Two characteristics of a quality bristle brush are flagged tips and interlocked construction. Natural bristle has a split tip called a flag. This flag helps the brush hold maximum paint and acts as an extra "paintbrush" during application. The lack of flags on a bristle brush indicates a brush which has been cut, not hand shaped. Synthetic Hair : Synthetic hair in thickness of 0.06 – 0.15 mm has been used in recent years with great success. It emerges in an extremely fine point which is almost identical with sable hair. The special features which we are use are the conical shape, the well structured surface which takes over the function of the scales on natural hair and guarantees an even color distribution. In the last time brushes made of e.g. synthetic Squirrel hair or synthetic Mongoose hair are very similar in quality and characteristics like the origin. And also a good thing- they help to protect the animals worldwide. Artificial Bristles : Zurück zur Produktlinie Artificial bristles with a diameter of 0.20 mm upwards are fibers which display very good elasticity, an extremely long service life and high level of sharp retention. They are used primarily in brushes for acrylic painting. The range and the several of qualities of synthetic hair and artificial bristles are very wide. That’s why it is impossible to compare only the price of synthetic brushes. Principles for the cleaning and maintenance of high-quality brush To the cleaning For protection during storage and transportation are all gummed our Kolibri ® brush. We use natural binders "gum arabic". Before first use, should this binder from new brushes with warm water to be washed out easily. After washing out the brushes are easy to strip and bring it with your fingers or a fine cloth in the original form. Water-based paints / materials washed with clean water from the brush. Acrylic paint is as long as it is still wet, also washed out with water. Dried paint can only be solved with special cleaning agents. Especially with brushes made of natural hair color should never be dried scraped dry out. Clean after use of oil paints the brush well at first with a rag. Then the brush with a natural moisturizing soap and then rinse. When washing the brush by rubbing more thoroughly so that all the ink residue is removed from the brush body. Natural hair brush, regardless of the used colors / materials regularly with a natural fatty soap (Order 0100-S) wash. Hair is more elastic and thus the brush body retains its original shape better. Dry brush after cleaning thoroughly. Please put the brush while not on a radiator or furnace. Dry the hair too fast and the wooden handles disappear and wiggle the brush heads can.
