A natural mineral imported from Bologna, Italy composed of monoclinic prismatic crystals of hydrated calcium sulfate-carbonate. This is a finely-ground whiting that combines the advantages of both chalk (calcium carbonate) and gypsum (calcium sulfate) for making painting and gilding grounds that are brilliant white.
Use this whiting to make a gesso base for gilding that is easier to polish, yet mechanically strong. Use Bologna chalk in painting grounds that make a compact, durable surface for egg and casein tempera, distemper, encaustic, and oil paint.
Add this filler to oil colors and mediums to create textural and bodying qualities to oil paint without affecting the color.

I like the store. Only issue I have is not knowing what is in stock or not in stock till after I make the purchase.
Great online resource. I just wish art supplies weren't so darn expensive.
Smooth line, color nicely saturated, and lovely enough to spread on a cracker.—Peter Lewis
