Rose Madder Michael Harding Oil Colour colourfix to lift and to mixRose Madder is so incredibly beautiful, a wonderful gift from nature. It is a traditional Lake pigment, extracted from the common madder plant Rubia Tinctorum. The plant was grown in Asia and Egypt for the purpose of dyeing as early as 1500 BC. The Egyptians are credited with developing several techniques to produce a Lake pigment. The best pigment they produced came from plants 18 to 28 months old that had been grown in soil rich with lime and chalk.
