PBk 9. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High oil Content.

An impure amorphous Carbon in Calcium Phosphate, Ivory Black is no longer made from burning ivory scraps, but from charred animal bones. It is denser in shade and cooler than Lamp Black with stronger tint power. The most frequently used black in the range.

PY 43. Fast drying, semi-transparent.French Yellow Ochre is a glowing natural yellow. Ochre, an iron oxide earth pigment, can be traced back to paintings from the Middle Stone Age. Landscapes painters and portrait painters alike will find uses for this soft, natural yellow pigment.

PY35. Fast Drying. Opaque. Excellent lightfastness. Low Oil Content.

Cadmium Sulphide, but with a greater degree of calcination than that used for the Cadmium Lemon Yellow, producing a very dense and lean mid-shade warm yellow which is virtually indispensable as a foundation colour for warm mixes of all kinds.

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. pdf=JacksonsArtistOilColourChart20. pdf Jackson's Artist Oil Colour Chart.

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.

Daler-Rowney Graduate Oil is an affordable range of oil paints ideal for students and hobbyists looking for reliability and performance. Graduate Oil colours are smooth, easy to use, and mix well together, drying to a low gloss satin sheen within 5 days.

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.

Artists' Oil Colour uses the highest level of pigmentation consistent with the broadest handling properties. The quantity of pigment used provides covering power and tinting strength.

Cobra Water Mixable Oil Colours provide a perfect oil paint result with a uniform drying time and degree of gloss. Painting with Cobra paints is much like painting with traditional oils. The paint can be applied using all the usual oil paint techniques. The colour, as well as the brush stroke or applied texture, retains its full expression after the paint has dried; the paint remains as it was when applied.

Pigments: PBk9, PB15, PV19Opacity: Semi-opaqueLightfastness: At least 100 years lightfast under museum conditions

There is no water within the formulation of Artisan. The linseed oil and safflower oil vehicles have been modified to allow the colour to accept water, creating a stable emulsion, while retaining the working characteristics of conventional oil colour.Artisan is ideal for:-

Oil painters who are sensitive to, or simply want to avoid exposure to solvents such as white spirit (mineral spirits) or turpentine.

Students and teachers in schools and colleges where the use of oil colour is prohibited because of the solvents.

Artists working in shared studio space where the build up of solvent levels could lead to a harmful concentration of vapours and a generally an unpleasant odour.

Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the odour of oil painting.

For travel, all Artisan products (Colour & Mediums) can be transported on aeroplanes (subject to the agreement of the airline).

The range has also been formulated with a high proportion of single pigments for brilliance of colour and clean colour mixing. The most suitable oil and methods for dispersion have been selected to bring out the individual characteristics, from opacity to natural transparency, of each pigment in the Artisan range.

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, and generally as a highly keyed mixer

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.

The key foundation of Bob Ross' wet-on-wet technique, as seen in award-winning 'The Joy of Painting', Liquid White provides a unique base coat to your painting surface and is smooth and slow drying. It allows for the blending and mixing of oil paints directly on the canvas. Importantly, Liquid White does not dilute the intensity of colours and should be applied sparingly. The Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique is a technique that enables an oil painter to work quickly wet-on-wet, much like a watercolour painter would do. You apply the Liquid White medium first to 'wet' the canvas, then follow the demonstration of techniques by Bob Ross to create a representational painting in a short amount of time. Standard sizing and priming is advised before using this product.

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.

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.

PW6& PW4. Average Drying. Very Opaque. Lightfastness Excellent. Very Low Oil Content. High tintpower. Non-toxic

This paint is bound with Linseed Oil and contains a 25% addition of Zinc Oxide White in order to avert the tendency of pure Titanium Dioxide pigment to express or exude oil to the surface whilst drying, which then causes a more pronounced appearance of yellowing. Zinc Oxide incorporates this free oil more effectively, as well as adding a cooler brightness to the white. If you want a strong mixer which tends to lighten hues conspicuously, as well as making the Cadmiums rather chalky in appearance, then this is it. The handling qualities are not overly subtle, but this is the white most suitable for a bright and largely cool palette. It forms a strong film when dry.
