Side by Side Comparison of Lead White and Alternatives using Vasari Mars Red

This video shows the mixing behavior of lead white and some alternative options. I also discuss some of the strengths and drawbacks of using lead whites. I hope this info and demo is useful. Happy Painting!!

Vasari is currently having their Earth Color Sale! It's a very good opportunity to try some of their amazing colors at very reasonable price points. Watch the Yellow Ochre video to understand why I enjoy using their earth colors.

**Correction! Rublev Venetian White is made with lead carbonate and Barite, I also use their Flemish white which is made with lead sulfate**
