Golden Heavy Body Acrylic - Hooker's Green Historic Hue, 5 oz.

Golden Historical Artist Colors are authentic recreations of paint colors that have been in use for hundreds of years and were considered essential to the working palettes of past masters. As the pigments originally used to produce these colors were found to be unsafe or vulnerable to the effects of light and weather, they had not been offered in a Golden line of pure pigment colors.

Hooker's Green Historic Hue - Named after the artist who is said to have introduced it, Hookers Green was actually a mixture of Prussian Blue and Gamboge. Golden re-creates this color by blending Anthraquinone Blue with Nickle Azo Yellow and Quinacridone Magenta, which offers an almost black masstone with a rich blue green undertone. These qualities are key to landscape painting, making it easy to see why this hue is so desirable.
