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.

PR 170. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High oil Content.

An organic red, Naphthol Red F5RK, which though a lake dye, has a strength appropriate to a granular pigment. It is a strong, slightly bluish red which in small additions can noticeably cut through mixes to yield low, smouldering scarlet undertones. Its hues are strong and cool, almost lipsticky.

Type 1 (it has no colour index number). Fast drying, and low oil content, lead stannate, toxic.

A soft, lemony shade of yellow, Lead Tin Yellow Light is a fantastic product to blend with blues to produce subtle, muted greens. Favoured in the past by artists such as Vermeer, this type paint is has a good coverage and is ideal for painting draperies and fur.

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.

PR 101. Very Fast Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

A deeper and cooler shade of synthetic Iron Oxide with great colorific density and which makes hues with conspicuously purplish undertones, and which some painters value for rendering flesh tones in interior light.

PY1.1. Slow Drying. Transparent. Very Good Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

A much warmer version of PY.1, Arylide Yellow G, exhibiting beautiful yet subtle bronze-gold undertones in complex mixes, and which has the high tint power to let these influence even the heaviest combinations of earths.

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.

Formerly a natural Iron Oxide, this is now manufactured to greater standards of purity. A heavy red, which yields fruity fleshy hues, and makes tones of great sonority when mixed with the Yellow Lakes.

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.

First made from the rare ore of Cobalt Phosphate in the mid-19th century, this is now a synthetic inorganic pigment, of which the lighter shade is closer to the original, natural version. It has a very delicate shade of violet which appears quite opaque in mass-tone, but which quickly becomes transparent when applied thinly, and when glazed over a white ground, gives a very interesting range of bluish pinks. The hues are equally restrained.
