Description
The Classic Oil paint is a 168 color range of oil paints that are made with modern lightfast pigments. The paint has a high opacity and transparency, making it perfect for use in paintings. The pigment classification is natural earth, and the color index is PY43. The color index number is 77942. The paint is lightfast according to ASTM, and is categorized as a Category 1 and 2 paint.
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.
