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.
