I like Grumbacher paints but they are not my favorites. I recommend them to someone starting out but not for the long term.

Comments about Grumbacher Academy Oil Color Sets:

My work involves touch-up and fill-in work. The amount of pigment in this collection is perfect so there is no waste. The pigments are true to color, hue and saturation and the balance is perfect. I'm able to mix with accuracy and find no deterioration in either transparency or opacity and vibrancy. Excellent materials and a great value. Bravo!!

Comments about Grumbacher Academy Oil Color Sets:

As an artist I look for and expect the same fine quality in the meadiums I choose. Grumbacher Academy Oil colors have always been a perfect medium. The texture of the oils are just a little thicker than most others which saves time when you want to build layers of paint, yet it flows evenly over the canvas and blends well. I trust Grumbachers quality control too. If you buy a tube this year and the same color next year, it will match perfectly on the same canvas. Do yourself a favor, forget the rest and buy Grumbacher Academy Oil Colors, their the best.
