Old Holland Oil Paints
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 it's range Old Holland provides a wide range of opaque and transparent colours, each with the highest possible brilliance (intense) and clarity (clean) characteristics. Cold-pressed extra virgin linseed oil is the only medium used in order 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 that has demonstrated a durability over the course of time.
Each tube of Old Holland oil paint has a colour strip above the label, painted with the colour from the tube in question showing an honest representation of the paint within.
