Rublev Colours Venetian White is a semi-opaque white ground in walnut oil that provides a stiff white, excellent for mixing with colors.
According to Salter's edition of George Field's Chromatography (1869), Venetian white was a commercial name in the nineteenth century for a white pigment mixture composed of equal parts of lead white (basic lead carbonate) and 'heavy spar' (that is, the barium sulfate mineral barite or baryte). The names Venice white and Venice ceruse were also used for this mixture as well as for pure lead white.
Rublev Colours replicated this color for artists today without the fillers and stabilizers (e.g. stearates, waxes, etc.) typical of modern whites. The white mineral barite (1.65) has a lower refractive index than lead white (2.01), making it less opaque and hence well suited for mixing with other colors. Use it to make pale tints of colors without overpowering them or as a foundation for other colors.

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.
