Emerald Green Michael Harding Watercolour

Emerald Green Michael Harding WatercolourA blend of organic Lake colours (Arylide Yellow and Phthalo Green) with two inorganic whites to give a safe and permanent substitute for the original Emerald Green. The original is the notorious Copper Aceto Arsenite, a brilliant green introduced circa 1810 and long since abandoned as being impermanent, highly reactive with other pigments, and very toxic! This non toxic alternative is great for any landscape watercolourist. Artists the world over
