Why does Old Holland use Lead instead of Aluminum tubes? Isn't that dangerous?
My, you are the probing, inquisitive one aren't you! Good for you!! Lead is non-reactive with the oil and so doesn't leach into the paint in any dangerous wayHowever.you have arrived at the dirty little secret of the art bidnessNot JUST because tubes are sometimes made of lead, but because almost ALL artist media are highly toxic and landfill UNFREINDLY few things we use should ever be discarded into the regular trash or poured down the drain!! Cadmium based colors, lead based whites, tubes.these were all subject to being made illegal by congress and artists lobbied heavily to protect themWe wonHowever, they are still remarkably dangerous and so require incinerationAluminum tubes that held earth-tones (umbers, siennas, ochres and such - which are made from dirt and variants of iron oxides basically) are ok to throw awayI take the others to my nearby university to ditch in their art dept toxic waste cansAlso NEVER dump solvent down the drainit poisons the water table or goes to the treatment plant to creep back into your faucet eventuallyLead or flake white is a most wonderful base for color and the cadmiums are irreplaceable so its worth the care and caution to have them.
