“Cooler, slightly more Transparent than Titanium. Great for clear, clean pastel mixing. To avoid brittle films use sparingly.” “Zinc White is our most translucent white with a warmish color temperature when squeezed out of the tube. It has medium to low tinting strength, which allows colors to maintain maximum chroma even with significant Zinc additions. Thin applications of Zinc can be used to create translucent veils with or without the addition of medium. A major drawback of Zinc Oxide is its tendency toward embrittlement. This pigment dries to a very hard film that becomes brittle within a relatively short period of time. Mixtures that contain even a small percentage of Zinc White can become brittle within a year or two. It is recommended to use Zinc only on rigid supports, applied thinly in the upper layers of the painting. This color is only available ground in linseed oil in 150 ml tubes.” -Just Paint, 2020 -Williamsburg
