The new incomparable quality range of Linel extra-fine gouache has been obtained according to antique traditional recipes by grinding purest artist's pigments, gum Arabic and a lithopone. Artists and teachers of Art and Graphic Design Schools tested and approved it. The reorganised Linel palette counts 78 rich and balanced shades, chosen for their intense and fine pigments and are very opaque. The new 2021 Linel palette is more modern and includes 5 new Cadmium-free colours: an exclusive innovation created by Lefranc Bourgeois in 2017. That’s an eco-responsible alternative that keeps all the strength and power of cadmium colours. The range also includes 22 mono-pigmented paints (008 009 030 046 054 057 063 159 183 268 269 302 354 388 418 437 473 522 542 843 859 860) and 3 new mica-based metallic colours. They are made from solid and light resistant pigments. These new chromatic values allow a qualitative and long-lasting rendering. Linel Extra-Fine Gouache Guide
