Your colors will be stronger and richer, and you will find the texture of the paint incomparable. You will love working with them.

There are a few special pigment colors in the Michael Harding range and this genuine Afghan lapis lazuli is an excellent example of this. The first and most noticeable thing about this color compared to the modern synthetic equivalent, Ultramarine Blue, is its weaker tinting and covering power and its slightly dirtier color. That being said, neither of these traits should be seen to detract from the natural beauty of this extraordinary color.
