• All-purpose hard-wearing acrylic paint
• No priming or waxing required*
• High pigment loading and fade resistant
• Use indoors and outdoors
• Adheres to a wide range of surfaces

*In 4D tests we found that no primer was needed for absorbent surfaces, but a smooth, consistent finish is not possible on hard plastic (eg styrene) without priming the surface first.

Until the 19th century, Verdigris was the most vibrant green pigment available, leading to its use in heraldry, fine art or by anyone who could afford it. A unique example can be seen in the Tudor Garden at Hampton Court Palace where the Heraldic Beasts for King Henry VIII and his wife Jane Seymour are standing on posts of Verdigris and white.
