In 1985, following extensive research, Old Holland presented a revolutionary range of 168 oil paints, each with the highest degree of lightfastness. Traditional, non-lightfast pigments were replaced with modern lightfast pigments with the same colour characteristics as the traditional ones. Thanks to the highest possible concentration of pigment in each colour, the paint has an unprecedented colour strength. Within the unique range of 168 colours, there is a wide range of opaque and transparent colours, each with the highest possible brilliance (intense) and clarity (clean) characteristics. The only medium used for these oil paints is cold-pressed extra virgin linseed oil, to obtain an optimum oxidisation (drying) of the paint. This increases durability and brushstroke spread. Together, these characteristics result in an oil paint of unequalled quality.

PR 101. Very Fast Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil content.

Formerly a natural Iron Oxide, this is now manufactured to greater standards of purity. A heavy red, which yields fruity fleshy hues, and makes tones of great sonority when mixed with the Yellow Lakes.

PB15.3 Fast Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

A Chlorinated Copper invented in 1935, this was one of the first synthetic organic pigments to be accepted as reliably permanent. It is sometimes seen as a modern replacement for Prussian blue, but its unmixed colour is slightly more cyan, and in hues it exhibits a unique range of throbbing, intense, greenish blues which are quite distinct from the latter. Having the most powerful tint power of any colour in my range, this paint will blow any mix apart; if you wish to avoid doing so, add it in tiny quantities and with caution! Its ferrous content makes it a great drier, and like Prussian Blue it shows a tendency to bronze on drying.

PY42. Very Fast Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

This Iron Oxide has been used as a wood dye, its capacity to enrich the grain of hardwood made it a wonderful candidate for paintmaking. It has great warmth with gingery undertones quite different to those seen in the Indian Yellows. Because the pigment particles are very small, it could almost be mistaken for a lake. It has huge tint power which pulls whites and other yellows into a golden, rich Titianesque zone of warm low tones. Try it with Aureolin and the Earths.
