The roots of <strong>madder<\/strong> (also called garance, Rubia tinctorum) give this beautiful <strong>blood red<\/strong>\u00a0thanks to the presence of many coloring molecules, going from orange to purple, passing through red. The most famous of these ones is\u00a0<strong>alizarin<\/strong>, which was also one of the first colors to be sintesized in laboratory. The other coloring principle is purpurin, which has a lower fastness than alizarin. Since it is an\u00a0<strong>alumina lake<\/strong>, its covering power is not high, but it owns a great transparency and brilliance. It is the natural color which was mostly used in the past, beyond indigo, to prepare pigments for artists, due to its\u00a0<strong>fastness<\/strong>\u00a0too: the obtained pigment owns an extraordinary\u00a0<strong>brilliance<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>transparency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Extrafine Handmade Watercolor Genuine Madder Lake<\/strong> is made in Italy by Nila Colori and is prepared with this pure pigment, is<strong> rather lightfast<\/strong>, <strong>transparent <\/strong>and\u00a0has a <strong>moderate tinting strength<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Genuine Madder Lake pigment 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>.
