Extra- fine, smooth and luminous oil colours manufactured in Belgium to traditional and exacting standards. Ground by hand in the Blockx tradition with slowly rotating stone mills, these extra fine artists' colours are made from a selection of high quality pigments and linseed or poppyseed oil. Only pure pigments are used to achieve maximum lightfastness, a buttery consistency, and easy mixing on the canvas. All colours have a minimum lightfast rating of 7 out of 8 on the Blue Wool Scale. Iron oxides, earths, and blacks are ground with linseed oil. All other pigments are ground with poppyseed oil, which is well known for its lack of yellowing and how it does not wrinkle when dry.
