Old Holland has
been making artist colors since 1664, making it one of
the oldest continuously operating companies in the art supplies industry.
The company is known for uncompromising adherance to traditional techniques
and standards. All color making is done by hand, and
all processes are controlled by artists. Pigments are ground in
stone rather than metal rollers, and colors are packaged in
lead tubes rather than the more modern aluminum alloy tubes,
which eventually oxidize and decay. Old Holland Oils are produced
according to traditional recipes, those used for paintings made in
the 17th century. These paintings retain the clarity of their
colors to this day. That's durability. Like hundreds of years
ago, only the best pigments and binders are used to
produce very concentrated and light-fast paint, resulting in higher color
strength, hiding power, and intensity. That goes for all 168
colors listed here. Only cold-pressed linseed oil from the first
pressing is used for the binder. This optimizes oxidation (drying)
of the paint and also promotes permanence. The brush strokes
flow out better too.
