Description
Classic Oil paints are made with a revolutionary range of 168 colors, each with the highest degree of lightfastness. The paint has an unparalleled color strength and brilliance, and is the only medium used for the paints. The pigment is a synthetic iron oxide. The color index is PR101 and the lightfastness is according to ASTM. The opacity/transparency is transparent.
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.
