Artist grade oil paint stands apart through the purity and concentration of its pigments. Colours are more intense and more transparent, producing glazes with a depth that is difficult to achieve with a student range. Colour permanence is also superior: shades do not shift over time, which is essential for works intended to be exhibited or preserved long-term. Artist ranges also offer a much broader palette, with single-pigment colours that allow mixing to be understood and mastered with precision. Consistency varies between manufacturers and series, some being more buttery and others more fluid, which directly influences the result with both knife and brush. It is this combination of qualities that makes artist grade oil paint the choice for painters who want to push their work beyond what everyday practice allows.
