Van Gogh paints, pencils, and pastels come from Royal Talens, the makers of Rembrandt Artist Oil Paints and Rembrandt Pastels. With its Van Gogh color lines, this Netherlands-based company offers excellent student-grade art materials.

Talens selects a more limited range of colors for their artist grades, but they offer great value and suprisingly good lightfastness. All Van Gogh color products are non-toxic too — perfect for use in the classroom.

Art teachers love Van Gogh for bringing affordable color and quality to their students. Artists who try out Van Gogh products are often surprised that they're considered student grade.
