Consistían en una base (normalmente carbonato de plomo, o «plomo blanco»), un pigmento para proporcionar el color, un aglutinante como el aceite de linaza para hacerlas pegajosas, y agentes espesantes como cera o jabón, un detalle algo sorprendente teniendo en cuenta que las pinturas oleosas del siglo XVIII eran de por sí bastante viscosas y difíciles de aplicar («como extender alquitrán con una escoba», según palabras del escritor David Owen).
They consisted of a base (usually lead carbonate, or ‘white lead’), a pigment for colour, a binder such as linseed oil to make it stick, and thickening agents like wax or soap, which is slightly surprising because eighteenth-century oil paints were already pretty glutinous and difficult to apply – ‘like spreading tar with a broom’, in the words of the writer David Owen.
