The art eduction world is a very chaotic one full of confusing and bad information that can be incredibly difficult to navigate. These are some thoughts from my experience as a student, teacher and professional.

This is an essay written by the artist Emil Carlsen and published in 1908. I'm not entirely sure of the source, but it may be a magazine called Palette and Bench.Note: In the essay Emil Carlsen recommends the use of zinc white.

Lead and titanium would be good replacements.
