Escoda Black Sable Round - Escoda's Black Sable — also known as fitch or polecat
hair — is less stiff than light ox hair at around the
same price. An alternative to bristle and sable, this handcrafted brush is
often used when painting with thinned oil colors for more detailed work.
Escoda specially cures each brush for increased resiliency and versatility, making it
a pleasure to use. The long red lacquered handle offers plenty of
control, and is attached to the nickel ferrule using Escoda's exclusive triple
crimping process. |

Old Holland Classic Oil Colors - 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. |
