Traditionally crafted and triple-milled in England, Georgian Oil Colours provide colour consistency from wet to dry and an even performance and finish across all colours.

With a smooth and buttery consistency, Georgian Oil Colours are ideal for experimenting with different brush and knife techniques. They are intermixable and have high pigment loads, including traditional pigments such as cadmium and cobalt. Georgian Oil Colours generally require very limited quantities of medium, so they can be used straight from the tube. All colours are lightfast and rated as Excellent (****) or Good (***). The surface is typically dry in 4 to 5 days.

Jackson's Professional Oil Paints are made by skilled artisans, using only the finest grade pigments and the purest refined oils to create colours that are rich and vibrant. The intense colour saturation and purity of this range is achieved by high pigment loading coupled with our traditional production process. We don't use drying modifiers to even out drying times and so you will find some variation across the range reflecting the natural drying characteristics of each pigment. MEK and MEKO are not used in any Jackson's oil paints.

Jackson's Artist Oil Paints are made in the UK by combining high-quality modern pigments and refined linseed oils to create colours that are permanent and lightfast.

These colours are carefully considered to provide a full palette and are made to high standards, ensuring they are luminous, vibrant, and full of character.

These intense colours can be squeezed from the tube and used as they are, or mixed with mediums to alter consistency and sheen. Jackson's Artist Oils do not contain metallic stearates, industrial fillers or anti-skinning agents.

PR 170. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High oil Content.

An organic red, Naphthol Red F5RK, which though a lake dye, has a strength appropriate to a granular pigment. It is a strong, slightly bluish red which in small additions can noticeably cut through mixes to yield low, smouldering scarlet undertones. Its hues are strong and cool, almost lipsticky.

As with all Winsor & Newton colours, every colour in the range is individually formulated to take advantage of the natural characteristics of each pigment and to ensure the stability of the colour. The vehicle (oil modified alkyd resin) allows the colour to dry quicker whilst retaining the other characteristics of conventional oil colour.Because alkyd resin has physical properties that differ slightly from those of traditional oils, the pigment load is somewhat different as well. Experienced painters will notice slightly greater transparency compared to Artists' Oil Colour. The colour has been formulated to offer the greatest degree of tinting strength possible (consistent with good handling properties), and to take full advantage of the true characteristics of each pigment.

Gamblin 1980 Oil Colors are made with the same dedication and pure pigments that go into their Artist Oils'. In addition, they use the same process of mixing, milling, filling, and hand labelling.

To ensure the 1980 colours are affordable, Gamblin formulates them with pure pigments, refined linseed oil and marble dust (calcium carbonate). This is different to many other paint manufacturers who use gels and waxes to stiffen colours, or even replace traditional pigments with less expensive ones.

With 1980 colours, artists can pay less and experience colours that are great quality, without homogenized texture or muddy colour mixtures.

Surface drying in 2 to 4 days

Traditional production on three roll mills

A spoor (0.5-1.5%) of the finest bees wax as one of the ingredients gives the colour the famous buttery and short consistency and makes the colour-film less brittle for the restorer. The binders are only pure vegetable linseed and sunflower oils in special quality.

PB28. Very Fast Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

Introduced at about the same time as Ultramarine, Cobalt Aluminate is a synthetic inorganic spinel (i.e. a very high-fired metal compound). It is a more greenish blue than the latter, with a heavier, more mineral appearance when neat. The hues formed from it are correspondingly heavier and greyer. But it has a certain downright shade which the cheaper Ultramarine cannot quite match. The paint film when dry is quite soft.

PBk 9 & PB 29 & PY 42. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

A blend of Ivory Black, Ultramarine and Iron Oxide Yellow, which gives a markedly cool black substitute. The blue undertones are similar to but much milder than those of Prussian Blue. Some painters prefer this blend for its restrained tint power, and use it in cool reflex tones in flesh painting.

PV16. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

Manganese Ammonium Pyrophosphate, a heavy, bold Violet which was first made in Germany in 1868; one of the mid-19th century wave of synthetic inorganic metal salts which so changed the artist

PR 83. Slow Drying. Transparent. Good Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

The oldest synthetic organic lake, introduced in 1868, and the only one of the coal-tar lake range to have survived in use until the present, the others having been found to be too impermanent for artistic use before the end of the 19th century. Itself a replacement for the somewhat unreliable organic Natural Madder (a dye made from a crushed plant root), Alizarin is frowned upon by certain Americans because its lightfastness (II-III on the ASTM scale), does not match that attained in the more recent organic pigments. But its clarity and subtly beautiful bluish undertones are unique, and, since its introduction, portraitists have greatly prized its range of cool, rather smoky hues, so well suited for rendering facial flesh.
