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.

Ferri-ammonium Ferrocyanide, discovered in Berlin in 1704 and introduced through the early 18th century, was one of the first synthetic inorganic pigments and also one of the most controversial. The earlier and less purified versions had a mixed reputation; they were said to fade in hues, or even to migrate or leech through succeeding paint layers. But modern standards of washing have dispensed with the tendency to fade, and the migratory properties ascribed to this colour are no longer reported. At any rate, Prussian Blue, like Alizarin, is one of those colours some painters find essential. Its inky depth when unmixed is belied by a range of uniquely intense blues resulting from hues, particularly with Zinc White. On its own and in more concentrated mixes it exhibits a slight bronzy sheen which can be used almost like a complementary glaze.

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.

Every Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour is individually formulated to enhance each pigment's natural characteristics and ensure stability of colour. By exercising maximum quality control throughout all stages of manufacture, selecting the most suitable drying oils and method of pigment dispersion, the unique individual properties of each colour are preserved.

Combined with over 170 years of manufacturing and quality control expertise, the formulation of Artist's Oil Colour ensures the best raw materials are made into the world's finest colours.

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.

PW6.1. Fast Drying. Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Low Oil Content.

Before Titanium Dioxide is refined to make it white it contains a measure of Iron Oxide, which gives it a subtle linen or limewash pinky-brown shade. As well as making it a good drier, such a presence makes this paint an ideal ground or underpainting colour, with good texture and a lean surface. Some painters use it as a mixing agent in flesh painting.

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.

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.

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.

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.
