Rublev Oil Medium Verona Red Marble Dust (Medium) – 1kg is a premium, medium-grade marble powder imported from Italy’s renowned deposits. Ground to a granular particle size of 0–70 microns, it retains its crystalline shape, making it highly effective in preparing traditional painting grounds, fresco intonaco, and as a textural additive in paints.
Composed of 98.75% calcium carbonate, with trace amounts of magnesium carbonate, iron oxide, manganese dioxide, alumina, and silica, Verona Red Marble Dust is pure, durable, and consistent in quality. Its natural red tone makes it especially useful for historical techniques, frescoes, and gesso grounds where subtle warm undertones are desired.
Common uses include:
-
Grounds & gesso – adds tooth, strength, and subtle warm color.
-
Paint modification – increases body and texture without affecting paint stability.
-
Fresco work – used as a filler in lime plaster for the intonaco layer.
-
Surface preparation – ideal for iconography, traditional painting, and mixed-media applications.
With a hardness of 2.8, specific gravity of 2.7, and a dry brightness of 98, this marble dust is both functional and archival. Supplied in a 1kg bag, Rublev Verona Red Marble Dust is part of the Rublev Natural Pigments range—trusted by professional artists worldwide and now available in Australia.
