## Caption

Used by oil painters for its mixing qualities and pure whiteness, flake white creates an astonishingly durable and flexible paint film. It was once commonly used as a base layer on canvas due to the strength the pigment gave to the paint film. Conservationists note that sections of oil paintings containing flake white withstand time better than those without.

Use with care, highly toxic ☠️
