MICHAEL HARDINGS Artists Oil Colours
"The first quality oil paint, EXCELLENT!" DAVID HOCKNEY 1998.
"These are the best oil paints in the world today" HOWARD HODGKIN 1996.
Artist's Oil Paint with the original colour intensity that artists would have experienced prior to mass production. Michael Harding paints have grown from a range of 15 colours in 1993 to a present day 64, and are now used by many leading artists. The greatest care has been taken in selecting all the ingredients to produce colours of power and intensity. All colours are ground in a grade of Refined Cold Pressed Linseed Oil chosen for its neutral acidity. There is one exception to this; titanium white no. 1. This is ground in Refined Poppy Oil which therefore is slower drying as driers are not included within the formulation of this range. As well as using traditional pigments this range of paints also makes use of more recent technological breakthroughs in pigment production to produce a fine range of lake colours with very high lightfastness ratings. 225ml - Selected colours in stock. All colours available to order.

SENNELIER Extra Fine Artists' Oil Paints
Established in 1887 in Paris, Sennelier has been producing high quality oil colour for generations.Only the finest pigments are used.
They are ground very slowly with extreme care to an extra-fine consistency. Then they are combined at maximum concentration with an archival safflower oil to yield the highest possible tinting strength and a lustrous satin finish, which dries in a uniform manner over the entire range. Unlike linseed, safflower oil is non-yellowing.
Dense, yet buttery Sennelier oils are more highly pigmented and firmer than ever. The reformulated homogeneous consistency is better suited to the diversity of modern techniques. The slightly heavier body retains its unique creaminess, while offering greater versatility. Sennelier's classic palette is expanding with 50 new, original shades that encompass contemporary trends and tastes.
