Comments about Sennelier Artists' Extra Fine Oil Paint:

I recently bought a tube of Blush tint, and so far more oil comes out of the tube than paint. I thought with the history of this brand I could expect to get more as of now this product has the consistency similar to when you are chewing gum and it turns soupy in your mouth. Not pleased so far. I am now less hesitant to spend the extra money and just go with old holland at least I know I will be getting what I pay for.

If I could afford Old Holland all the time I would buy them, but the Sennelier has become my go to oil color over Winsor and Newton. Creamy, well pigmented, well mixed, and an excellent tonal range. I'm taking permanency ratings on faith. I do not use medium when I paint and I am very happy with the feel of this brand.

Comments about Sennelier Artists' Extra Fine Oil Paint:

These are highly pigmented, thick, creamy paints that spread easily. I use them directly from the tube and thinned for glazing. The glazes are gorgeous. I would give them five stars but like WN and Gamblin there is with some tubes oil separation and a fairly large amount of oil pours out when first using the paints. I generally roll them back and forth on the table (cap still on) and squeeze out some paint and have found that mixes the oil back in so there's no seepage. Again, the excess oil doesn't bother me much. I've experienced it with Williamsburg, MGraham, Winsor Newton (alot), Gamblin (almost every tube I've ever used), Norma. I've only never had that issue with Old Holland, Schminke's Mussini, and LeFranc paints.

Some unusual, beautiful colors and tones I find very useful in outdoor painting.

While the color is good, the pigment is good, the problem I have with several tubes that I recently bought is that when I open them, a LARGE amount of excess oil comes out. The rest of the paint is way oilier than most, and it has this funky smell... reminiscent of old oil based house paint from the 70's. Too volatile to be just linseed oil. I also seem to remember when they came in 34ml tubes in the 90's they had a similar problem.

Now I know that certain colors I bought are prone to this consistency by nature of the pigment, but I have other tubes with the same pigment code (Old Holland, Blockx) that are way better mulled with much less oil, and those paints are far better in general and more saturated with pigment as opposed to more oil.

I have been purchasing oils for over 30 years and have found that the Sennelier Titanium White and Ivory Black are smooth and well saturated over the other paints I have purchased. The cost is low for the value you receive.

As I paint a wide variety of subject matter ,I have the chance to really put these paints to the test. I am extremely pleased with how they have performed. Intense ,rich pigments. A little goes a long way. The transparency and glazing qualities are superb. I just love them.

I purchased this product to try with other professional grade and quality oil paints. Not sure if it was just THIS tube, but it was TOO heavily infused with Linseed Oil... seemed at least 1/2 a tube was oil... generally have been happy with Sennilier, not sure what happened here, but DICK BLICK made it right. they did not charge me for the defective tube of paint

Really, what can you say about Sennelier that has not already been said? Easy to brush, color that pops off of the canvas, lightfast, and these prices? What could be better?

What a value and thanks, Dick Blick!

I painted this with 99% Sennelier and a pthalo turquois from Grumbacher. Mostly because I loved that color from them. But the Sennelier makes this one for me.
