Blockx Oil Color 60 ml Tube - Zinc WhiteSave Up to65%Off listWhite Finest Quality Artists' Oil Colors Made and processed by the Blockx family in Belgium, still handground in the Blockx tradition with slowly rotating stone mills, our extra-fine artists' colors 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 colors 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. As an oil colorist you deserve the very best colors to paint with. Blockx has been made in the same way in Belgium by family members for over 140 years. Today, Blockx is the oldest artist paint manufacturer continuously run and operated by a family. The story began when Jacques Blockx, a noted chemist, was asked by his artist friends to make reliable oil colors that would be permanent and extremely expressive. His formulas for permanent and lightfast colors are legendary and carefully guarded by the Blockx family today, who still test each batch of color to personally insure absolute quality and satisfaction.

Indeed Blockx is a bit expensive, but these paints are worth every penny. An investment in Blockx is an investment in your art and truly one that will pay dividends in the future. Mixing: Pigments, oil, generally poppyseed oil, and specific ingredients are pre-mixed according to their particular nature to achieve the best paste for milling. Grounding: The paste is ground on a three roll mill made of stone rolls, to preserve the purity of paints, rotating at low speed to avoid heating. This operation is conducted 3 or 4 times-each time reducing the size of particles-allowing us to fill the tube immediately to preserve all the qualities of the paint. Test: Besides the long experience of the craftsman, numerous checks are made of particle size, consistency, drying time, density, and so more. A sample of each batch is carefully kept for years.

Maimeri Classico Oil Color 60 ml Tube - Venetian RedSave Up to22%Off listRed Exceptional quality and pigment concentration, at a single price point! Known for their exceptional professional paints, Italian paint maker Maimeri designed Classico Oil Paints to provide all painters the highest quality, most pigmented oils, even going as far to use real cadmiums and cobalts. Manufactured using the finest linseed oil, the superior line of Classico Oils are produced without waxes, fillers, or adulterants that even lower end, popular “professional” oil brands are full of! The finely ground, heavily loaded colors have a fantastic thick body and short tack for the ultimate painting experience. Like Their Puro counterparts, Classico whites are blended with non-yellowing oils (safflower oil) to retain their brightness and purity. Unlike other manufacturers that boast “real” cadmiums and cobalts (which can be as low as only a few percent), Classico’s authentic cadmium pigments are in a concentration between 20% and 25%. This perfect combination of modern and traditional pigments excels with color mixing and learning color theory, rather than using cheap, poor quality student brands full of fillers and little pigment. Perfect for discriminating students and amateur painters, Classico also has remarkable appeal for the professional oil painter, especially those working large scale that go through large amounts of paint. Classico’s high pigment load extends further than other comparably priced brands, making it a great value for painters needing larger tube sizes. With a range of 77 colors, Classico comes in large 60ml and 200ml tubes at a single price point for each size. Of the 77 colors, an amazing 73 have the highest degree of light stability, allowing you to paint with confidence, knowing the archival nature of your painting materials.
