Description
The 168 oil paints from Old Holland are made with modern lightfast pigments and have a high concentration of pigment. They have an unparalleled color strength and brilliance, and are the only medium used for the paints. The paints are cold-pressed from extra virgin linseed oil, which increases their durability and brushstroke spread. Together, these characteristics make the Old Holland 168 oil paints some of the best quality paints on the market.
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.
