Lead White (also known as flake white or Cremnitz white) is an opaque white that is smooth and brushes long in the direction of the brushstroke. The consistency straight out of the tube is creamy, slightly ropey yet retains its shape as you manipulate it while being soft yet sculptural.
Rublev Colours lead white is made with pale linseed oil and basic lead carbonate (made according to modern processes) without stabilizers (e.g. stearates, waxes, etc.) or fillers to alter the characteristics of the pigment. As a result, you get higher pigment volume concentration (PVC) than other brands of lead white (flake white)—as high as 50%. This means most brands of flake white do not weigh nearly as much as Rublev Colours 50 ml tube. Yet, Rublev Colours Lead White is not overly stiff and mixes well with all other oil colors.
Lead white is the most common white found on the old masters' palette. Lead pigments have been made artificially since Antiquity, although health concern of lead poisoning has greatly diminished its role in paint today.

Let customers speak for us
Accidentally ran into this shop on one of my NYC trips. I didn't know it existed, but while looking through the store, I discovered a brand of paint I'd never heard of, so I bought a jar. It has quickly become my favorite, so as a treat, my husband bought 8 more colors for me, which Soho shipped to me very quickly. Wish I could buy all of the colors! But I'll return to Soho one of these days and will buy the light blue I'm dreaming of....
I love this brand. They are my absolute favorite paints. The colors are rich, I love that the paint is on the thinner side. It blends beautifully. All the colors are wonderful, I wish I could afford them all.
Soho, and my contact Walter, couldn’t be friendlier, more accommodating, nor go to any greater lengths to find the often rare or plain weird materials I ask for.
Smooth as a baby’s bottom, and the pigmentation of the long stroke didn’t dwindle despite the light load.
I went out of my way to get this sketchbook. I got one from you before and then I couldn't find them once I filled the pages. Its the greatest sketchbook.
Friendly professional staff, excellent customer service, and a suburb selection of top notch art supplies. Shopping was breeze, items well packaged and delivered safely. Thank you!
High quality. Solution contains everything needed to make excellent, consistent and lasting watercolors from dry pigments. Fair price. Great customer service. I paint full time, have used many mediums, and recommend this product.
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.
