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.

A high level of pigmentation provides good covering power and tinting strength. While it can't match the superior pigment load of Artists' Oil Colour, the Winton range is much stronger than many other artists' quality ranges.The economical cost has been achieved through the use of moderately priced pigments rather than lessening the pigment content to an unacceptable level. Winsor & Newton formulation, manufacture and quality control ensure a product of absolute excellence. The Winton range has a more uniform consistency than Artists' Oil Colour and is slightly stiffer. It offers excellent retention of brush and palette knife strokes.

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.

High quality yet economical oil colour

Well-balanced colour spectrum of 48 brilliant colours

High concentration of pigments for an exceptional colour intensity

Excellent lightfastness

25 single-pigment-colours

Use of especially refined linseed oil and sunflower oil (pharmaceutical quality), no tendency of yellowing

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.

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.

The oil stick from Sennelier is a composition of artist quality oil paint; a proportion of the oil is substituted with a neutral mineral, resulting in the stick appearance. The 55 artist colours are of top quality: pure pigments are ground into vegetable oils, selected for their low degree of yellowing with time. The choice and high concentration of pigments enables excellent light resistance to be achieved.

Duo has taken all the handling qualities and the buttery feel of Holbein Artist Oil Colour and made it safer and easier to use. Duo eliminates the odour of solvents in the studio by allowing you to clean brushes, palette, and workspace with soap and water. Because of it's versatility, the possibilities for special techniques and effects using Duo are limited only by one’s imagination.

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.

Perfect transparent marriage of blue and green, this transparent Turquoise has high tinting strength and makes a high key tint. Excellent for painting tropical water.Pigment: Copper phthalocyanine, chlorinated copper phthalocyanine (PB15:2, PG 7)Vehicle: Alkali refined linseed oilLightfastness I, Series 2, TRANSPARENT
