Blick is proud to offer its line of professional, artist-grade oil colors.

Every rich, vivid color is formulated using the finest genuine hand-ground pigments, combined with pure, first-press, non-yellowing safflower oil.* Thirty of the 60 colors in the line are made from a single pigment.

Qualities of these extremely responsive oil paints include a high pigment load, a dense, buttery feel, and a luminous satin finish. They’re an exceptional value for artists of all levels, particularly for single-pigment colors.

* Note — Cerulean Blue is formulated with poppy oil, and Ivory Black, Mars Black, and Sepia are formulated with linseed oil.

Set of 8 Tubes — A perfect introduction to the quality of Blick Artists’ Oil Color. The 8-tube set includes one 40 ml (1.35 oz) tube each of Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Sap Green, French Ultramarine, Lemon Yellow, Ivory Black, and Titanium White.

Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

First squeeze was oil separated from pigment. Too long on the shelf?

I am on a strict budget, but was leery of the quality of the oil paints at the price offered. I was so impressed with the quality and the selection that I will continue to buy Blick in the future.

Blick Dries Quick and is affordable

By Paul

from Buffalo, NY

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

If it wasn't for the price Blick charges, I dare say I would find it a real challenge to paint as many works as I do.

I like the density of the paint and the drying rate is convenient for quick turn a rounds.

Good except titanium white

By Greg

from Wilmington, NC

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

I first bought a tube of Blick zinc white to try out since I wanted a good zinc to glaze with that is not linseed based. I mixed it with a blue and glazed a layer over my usual titanium white/blue. I was delighted at the creaminess of it and the fast drying. The Blick titanium white however is too stiff and sticky, and when I glazed a layer over it, it was very sticky and difficult, not creamy as before(the layer had already dried). I also have the Fr. Ultramarine, which is good, but the titanium white is going in the garbage. So, I recommend this brand except for the titanium white.

not sufficiently opaque

By p. c.

from clarkdale, az

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

compared to grumbacher, it's kiddie paint. the raw umber, which is usually one of the most pigment heavy colors in any brand, is so full of medium that it feels like greasy crude oil. achieving any real coverage with this paint is nearly impossible. if you're painting 12" x 12" pictures of puppies and clowns, this stuff may suffice. but if doing any real work, look somewhere else.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice colors

By Art lover

from Gainesville, FL

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

I have bought several colors, can not complain at all about pigment load, it's identical to Sennelier as well as pigment name used, (even color swatches are identical, e.g. Permanent Alizarine Crimson), but not so expensive as Sennelier. I like Blick's Indian Red cool color and ultramarine rose (very nice violet). Drying time is less that in other brands,-my samples were dry to the touch in about 16 hours, so I use sometimes Blick's Titanium white in color mixtures with other slow drying paints of other brands to accelerate a bit drying speed.
Love the paints overall.

Hey I was wrong, and glad I was!

By Mr. T

from Hawaii

Pros

Cons

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

Ok in all fairness I was a bit hasty to review the item. I wrote the previous review on weak pigmentation, and on the second try I found it stronger, not Old Hollands but not terrible either. Seems as long as I have painted I should l know the first inch glob is not a great indicator of the rest of the tube due to settling, and separation. On the positive side it also shows Blick's integrity to post everyones reviews.....kudos to Blick, I will be back God Willing! Happy Painting!
