Rublev Oil Medium Verona White Marble Dust (Medium) – 1kg is a premium, medium-coarse marble powder imported from Italy’s world-class deposits. Ground to a granular particle size of 0–0.7 mm, it retains its crystalline shape, making it ideal for preparing traditional grounds, fresco intonaco layers, and for modifying the texture and handling qualities of paints.
This marble dust is composed primarily of calcium carbonate (98.75%), with trace amounts of magnesium carbonate, iron oxide, manganese dioxide, alumina, and silica. Its purity and natural brightness (98%) ensure it will not discolor paints or grounds, while its crystalline texture provides excellent body and tooth.
Common uses include:
-
Grounds & gesso – as a filler to increase tooth and durability.
-
Paint modification – to add texture, bulk, and handling qualities to oil, tempera, or acrylic paints.
-
Fresco – as filler in lime plaster for the intonaco layer.
-
Surface preparation – for traditional painting and iconography practices.
With a hardness of 2.8 and specific gravity of 2.7, Verona White Marble Dust is both durable and versatile. Supplied in a 1kg bag, it is part of Rublev’s Natural Pigments range, trusted by artists worldwide and now available in Australia for historical and contemporary art techniques.
