Earth of Vicenza, Italian pigment Dolci

Vicenza earth, or white earth, is a natural inorganic mineral pigment, which can also be obtained synthetically. Improperly called Cadmium of Schio, this siliceous earth is present on all continents and was known to many ancient civilizations.

It is obtained from appropriately aerated and purified kaoliniferous clay. In appearance it looks like a medium-fine clay that easily clots into small and medium lumps, while with an average amount of thinner it becomes a transparent, non-fluid, slightly earthy paste. The tint is transparent and not compact, it is light and has practically no covering power. It has a very low coloring power and is recommended to be used as a glaze or mixed with other colours. If less diluted it is more compact, "sticky" and difficult to use, therefore the more diluted variant is recommended.

I ordered several wooden boards to paint icons. Upon delivery, half of them showed scratches on the surface to be painted or saw marks on the side. The wooden boards are made without the care necessary for the production of works of art. Dal Molin has not had any hearing for my request for replacement of the unusable art supply nor for a refund saying that "these details have no importance". I do not recommend this business.

A company that is worth a visit for the wonderful and wide range of basic materials from shaped wooden boards, chalked, tools and colors: everything you need to create icons or pyrographic works. They have wonderful painted icons, books and also organize courses on the subject. Courteous, competent staff, generous with information and suggestions. Worth a visit.

The solid lime wood boards, purchased by me online from the well-stocked Dal Molin Carpentry, to carry out carving work, have an excellent quality/price ratio and are available in a vast number of formats... The packaging of the products sent was also very careful and received with very punctual delivery. Compliments!
