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.

“Cool”, inorganic black with a gentle tinge of charcoal. Produces a blue-tinged grey when mixed with white.

On the basis of many years of scientific experience in the field of artists' colours, Schmincke continues to use a broad and diverse scope of artists' oils, which it combines with the most suitable natural dammar resin from Palembang, Indonesia. The amount of dammar resin which is added in colloidal solution depends on the oil requirements of the pigment concerned. The use of different variants of linseed oil purified by means of highly sophisticated processes also predominates in the Mussini artists' resin-oil-colours.The microscopic evaporation pores enable oxygen to penetrate more effectively into the inner layers, thus providing for more even drying of the surface and inner layers. This, in turn, reduces the danger of wrinkling and surface tension during the drying process.

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.

Colour: Michael Harding Crimson LakePigment Index: PR149Transparency: TransparentLightfastness: GoodPrice Series: 4This warm red has a very unique nature and produces interesting shades of pink when mixed with or glazed over whites.Michael Harding Oil Colours are among the finest oil paints available to artists today. Michael Harding's colours have a high load of top quality pigments, ground in refined cold-pressed linseed oil. They are completely free of fillers, extenders, or driers, resulting in pure, rich, and vibrant colours that are lightfast and buttery.First manufactured in 1982, Michael Harding Artists' Oil Colours are exceptional quality and are made by hand. They are very popular with some of the world's finest artists, including David Hockney, Chris Ofili, and the late Sir Howard Hodgkin.pdf=michaelhardincacc.pdf Michael Harding Oil Colour Chart.

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.

PBk 9 & PB 29 & PY 42. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

A blend of Ivory Black, Ultramarine and Iron Oxide Yellow, which gives a markedly cool black substitute. The blue undertones are similar to but much milder than those of Prussian Blue. Some painters prefer this blend for its restrained tint power, and use it in cool reflex tones in flesh painting.

PB28. Very Fast Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

Introduced at about the same time as Ultramarine, Cobalt Aluminate is a synthetic inorganic spinel (i.e. a very high-fired metal compound). It is a more greenish blue than the latter, with a heavier, more mineral appearance when neat. The hues formed from it are correspondingly heavier and greyer. But it has a certain downright shade which the cheaper Ultramarine cannot quite match. The paint film when dry is quite soft.

PG7. Fast Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

Polychloro Copper Phthalocyanine probably ties with Phthalo Blue as the strongest pigment in the range. Atomic tint power, add it with great care! Ferocious acidy blue-green hues and blue undertones which come to prominence in mixes with yellows. In common with the Blue it displays, on drying and when used virtually unmixed, a certain tendency to show surface bronzing.

PR 122. Average Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

Quinacridone Y, a very lightfast organic pigment, with strong bluish overtones which shine through if it is used as a glaze. When made into hues it presents a wonderful range of decadent, strong cool pinks which evoke rich satins. When added 50/50 to Ultramarine the results are a spectacular range of violets, which, when hued themselves, have an almost stain-glass quality. In mixes with yellow lakes the results are ranges of diaphanous, ambivalent pinks marvellous in certain flesh painting.

Sublime brilliance and intensely deep colours

Optimal colour strength due to the highest possible concentration of pigments and very fine grinding

Highest degree of lightfastness

Very pure colours and greatest durability of the paint coat

Akademie oil colours contain quality artists' pigments in high concentration which guarantee for the brilliance and excellent lightfastness (4 and 5 Stars only). Brilliant shades can be obtained also in mixtures due to the large number of one-pigment-colours. With Akademie oil colours, Schmincke offers a harmonious colour range for beginners and heavy users. High luminosity, a harmonious colouristic with translucent to opaque colours are only some of the main features of this colour range. Due to the new and balanced formulations with high quality linseed these oil colours offer a fast and uniform drying time throughout the 48 colour assortment. Akademie oil are very heavy body oil colours which can be applied very easily and smoothly.

Sennelier gathers only the finest natural and inorganic pigments from around the world. The pure pigments are ground very slowly with extreme care to an extra-fine consistency. They are then combined at maximum concentration with an archival safflower oil to yield the highest possible tinting strength and a lustrous satin finish. The sensuous pigments have a unique buttery texture.
