Each colour is ground to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to that particular pigment. Some colours will feel slightly gritty; others extremely smooth. Pigments are ground in pure, premium, alkali-refined and PH- balanced linseed oil and made in batches no larger than five gallons at a time. This provides total control over the product, much like the late nineteenth-century French colour makers. All the materials are hand measured, and every ounce of paint is scrutinized. The paint is packed in 37 ml and 150 ml non-reactive aluminum tubes. Larger quantities of paint are packed in aluminium cans using only the purest materials.

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.

Distinctive smooth buttery consistency through the use of bees wax

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.

Opacity/Transparency: Opaque

Still handground in the Blockx tradition with slowly rotating stone mills, these extra-fine artists' colours are made from the finest selection of pigments and oil.Only pure pigment is used for maximum lightfastness, buttery consistency and easy mixing on the canvas itself.All colours have a minimum lightfast rating 7 out of 8 on the blue wool scale. So they all can be considered perfectly lightfast.

Iron oxides, earths and blacks are ground with linseed oil. All other pigments are ground with poppyseed oil which is well-known for its lack of yellowing and the non-forming of wrinkles at the time of the drying.

Zinc White (Linseed Oil) - Colour Information:PW4, Series 1, Semi Opaque, Lightfastness +++Rembrandt Oil Colours have an intense luminosity and depth due to the very fine grinding process, along with the highest possible concentration of pigments. Colours have the maximum degree of lightfastness and durability throughout the range. The range of Rembrandt oil paint consists of 120 colours with a balanced distribution between opaque and transparent colours. It also includes some specialised colours such as genuine cadmiums and shiny metallics. Each colour has a smooth, buttery texture and a rich intensity. Tubes are available in 40ml, 60ml, and 150ml.
