Michael Harding Oil Paints are among the finest oil paints available to artists today. Michael Harding's colours have a high load of top quality pigments, ground in refined cold pressed linseed oil. They are completely free of fillers, extenders or driers, resulting in pure, rich, and vibrant colours that are lightfast and buttery.

First manufactured in 1982, Michael Harding Artists' Oil Paints are of exceptional quality and are made by hand. They are very popular with some of the world's finest artists, including David Hockney, Chris Ofili, and the late Sir Howard Hodgkin. A variation on the classic green-shade of Phthalo Blue. Transparent, deep, and high in tinting strength.

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.

PW 6 Titanium Dioxide. PW4 Zinc Oxide. Very slow Dryer, Very Opaque, Excellent Lightfastness, High Tint Power, Non-toxic. Bound with with Safflower oil. Safflower oil dries to a robust film, which means that this paint can be overpainted with a low risk of later cracking. It yellows comparably less to linseed oil, and handles in a similar way. This is the most brilliant non-toxic White in the range, suitable for cool, opaque light hues.

Titanium Buff: A light, yellow-grey made from a compound of titanium dioxide and iron oxide. This popular colour is valuable in figurative and landscape painting.

Made by Sennelier, Rive Gauche is named after the Left Bank of Paris where Sennelier was founded in 1887. The special property of these oil paints is that they dry to a satin finish, twice as fast as conventional oil paint, while retaining the characteristic buttery texture of fine oil colours. This allows the artist to work twice as fast

Sennelier gathers only the finest natural and inorganic pigments from around the world. The pure pigments are ground very slowly with extreme care to an extra-fine consistency. They are then combined at maximum concentration with an archival safflower oil to yield the highest possible tinting strength and a lustrous satin finish. The sensuous pigments have a unique buttery texture.

Langridge Handmade Oil Colour has been constructed to excel in saturation of colour and physical handling qualities. Developed in consultation with artists, these paints satisfy demands for oil colours that are unadulterated by fillers or modifiers, resulting in a pure, full-strength paint. Constructed with the highest pigment loading they are the world’s first oil paint specifically based on contemporary high-saturation colours.

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.
