Artist Quality Fine Oil Colors Bound with Safflower Oil

Made in France, from the famed Parisian riverside that once inspired artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Sennelier’s line of fine oil paint offers the City of Paris in both 40ml and 200ml tubes! Made from a rich, balanced blend of cadmium substitutes, Rive Gauche Fine Oils are highly pigmented, producing colors with an opaqueness and luminosity equivalent to that of real cadmium. Bound with safflower oil, Rive Gauche fine oils have a lower level of yellowing, and are designed to dry twice as fast as classic oils without losing workability. With its thick, creamy consistency, oil colors mix clearly, and each paint stroke is smooth and uniform; drying to an intense satin finish. Featuring 60 colors in 40ml tubes and 56 colors in 200ml tubes, Sennelier’s Rive Gauche Fine Oil Paint brings the City of Lights to artists all over the world with its wide range of bright, brilliant colors. Excellent for students and professionals alike.

Dries twice as fast!

Whilst retaining the key characteristics of oil painting, Rive Gauche fine oils dry twice as fast as classic oils. The outcome of this is a shortened drying time that does not restrict an artists possibilities of working with fresh paint.
Oils that yellow two times less! Safflower oil is used to make the 60 colours. It is characterized by its low level of yellowing (50% less than linseed oil) and its excellent compatibility with pigments.
