Oil paints have a tendency to be daunting to new artists, but they don't have to be. Unlike acrylic paint, oil paint takes a much longer time to dry - sometimes days - which makes it incredibly versatile as you're able to blend the paint for much longer than other types of paint.
Oil painting requires you to blend the oils with a medium, typically linseed oil. This medium will slow the drying process so you'll have more time to work on your piece, thins the paint like water does to watercolours and adds a glossy sheen to the final work.

Student grade oil paints have less pigment and are typically mixed with synthetic fillers that affect the quality of the final work. Our oil paints by Eraldo, Art Spectrum and Winsor & Newton are professional artist-grade oils blended with linseed oil with an excellent lightfastness rating, a buttery consistency and rich colour.
The more opaque an oil paint is, the greater the coverage. An oil paint with a high opacity is great for underpainting and for blocking out parts of your work while transparent oil paints should be used for glazing effects.
Permanence refers to how long an oil paint will last before fading and are typically graded using A for permanent, B for moderate and C for fugitive. Our stunning range of Winsor & Newton paints are rated A with excellent permanent and lightfast colour for best results.
