Flake White Replacement

Thank you for your insight Michael. It's kind of what I suspected. One of the books I learned from was Joseph Shepards "How to Paint like the Old Masters". He said that there was nothing that could compare to Flake White. I have grown comfortable painting with Titanium White, and worry about the toxic effects of lead paint, but your email is tempting me to try it. I'm almost afraid if I try it I'll never be happy with Titanium White again. Also, I do occasionally find a glob of paint on my skin, despite precautions. What happens if you get the lead paint on skin? Is it absorbed?
