awesome thanks

Thank you ! I asked schmincke about zinc. What do you think ?
In our colors 10 013 Titanium Opaque White, 11 114 Titanium White and 41 102 Titanium White, we still use a small but necessary proportion (well below 10%) of zinc oxide, as zinc oxide takes on important technical functions.
We take advantage of the ability of zinc oxide to increase the surface hardness of the oil films formed in the special formulation of the titanium white oil paints.
In contrast to dried linseed oil films, the dried oil film of safflower and sunflower oil is softer. This softness of the color films formed is compensated for by the zinc oxide.
However, it is important to ensure that the concentration of zinc oxide is precisely adjusted to avoid embrittlement of the color films formed.
A positive side effect is the additional improvement in yellowing resistance, which is much more noticeable without the presence of zinc oxide. In addition, pure zinc white, which has been used in painting for decades due to its special coloring properties, is an irreplaceable and technically proven color.
Without the use of zinc oxide, in the long-standing Kremser white tone, the special properties such as drying, color strength and coloring of real Kremser white could not be achieved.
In the colored shades, zinc oxide is used to adjust the color; here, too, as with all colors, the overall recipe must be considered.

Very useful information and nice to see they are considering the matter in their formulations. I am confident thaty are getting a reliable paint as a result. Thanks for the info.

[@hedonismbot3274]

@@MalcolmDewey they also gave me confidence to buy their colors without worrying. You are welcome. And thanks again also for the comparison.

[@FemarieRosario]

do you have a video of transparent white mixed with transparent color oil paint?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Sorry no.

[@tericarter2886]

Beginning in oils here ( i am an intermediate watercolorist ) Very informative video Thank you Also I have noticed that in some of your videos you wear gloves and in some you do not Is there a reason for this ?

[@MalcolmDewey]

In older videos I did not, but probably for the past five years I wear a glove on my non-brush hand when I use oils. That is the one that gets solvents on it.

[@tericarter2886]

@@MalcolmDewey Thank you I am using water mix oils with no solvents --so is the petroleum in the paint non toxic so I would not need gloves?

[@JorgeSilva-rb6nz]

However Rembrandt brand is quite expensive.

[@MalcolmDewey]

True - but still less than many other popular artists quality brands. Even a few Series one colors like the earth hues (burnt sienna for example) make a difference.

stay away from zinc, longevity issues
