This is an <strong>historical<\/strong> pigment, which was used since the medieval period and until the 17th century. This mineral was actually very expensive, but also the most important blue pigment during the Middle Ages and the Reinassance. We grind the mineral and purify it through washings before preparing the watercolors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Extrafine Handmade Watercolor Genuine Blue Verditer\/Azurite<\/strong> is made in Italy by Nila Colori and has a <strong>bright light blue<\/strong>\u00a0color, tending to green, with important\u00a0<strong>granulation<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>low tinting strength<\/strong>, extremely\u00a0<strong>transparent<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>lightfast<\/strong>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Genuine Azurite<\/strong>\u00a0pigment is milled with just the right amount of a mixture of<strong>\u00a0Kordofan gum arabic<\/strong> (binder) and <strong>vegetable\u00a0glycerin<\/strong>\u00a0(humectant and plasticyzer). These are the ingredients which are historically the main characters in the production of the watercolors and which give the best results regarding\u00a0<strong>ease and pleasantness of painting<\/strong>.
