I got this today on my recommended so I'll do a little update on the state of W&N whites. Firstly they no longer make the Transparent white. ( personally I found it dreadful.) Secondly I don't know for certain, but I think they may have reduced the zinc oxide content in the Flake white hue. It's listed as only 1-5%. Memory may be faulty, but I'm sure it used to be higher than this.
Safety data sheets can be downloaded from the Winsor & Newton website. In general, their whites aren't very toxic, though one imagines there will be small quantities of metallic driers and magnesium stearate

Can not see. You need far closer and better resolution. Poor lighting glare. Regarding toxiity please amplify what relative toxicities are?

excellent! great info.
Was waiting for the close up of each mix ...
Just get titanium white and don't look back! If you want to control the opacity, use a paint thinner
thank you , that is really helpfull... do you know what pigment(s) are in the underpainting white ?
@Jean Bell Hi, do you know if flake white hue will preserve the painting as much as flake white no 1?
Is it true that zinc white cracks?
Where can I buy Ir-white & Flake white hue & transparent white & underpainting white in the USA? please help
it's the glaring festival. Plus, who mixes white with freaking mars black in order to show its subtleties?
Exactly. Always makes me think it's a bad product if they give bad examples.
Is the flake white hue lead free?
yes
What about Cremnitz White?
Winsor and Newton stopped making lead whites so no more W&N Cremnitz.
use stack lead white, Cremnitz whit or regular lead white.
