Blockx

Dissolved yellow amber has allowed great works of art to stand the test of time. Blockx Amber Painting Solution imparts a rare luminosity, adding depth to your paintings. It has a lower concentration of dissolved amber than Blockx Amber Varnish.

As a medium, amber adds depth to paintings and is the finest of all resins. As a varnish, amber provides a tough elastic topcoat that penetrates and becomes part of the paint film, rendering paintings as brilliant in 100 years as they are today.

Five generations of chemists in the Blockx family have been working since 1865 to perfect the Blockx Oil Paints. Today they are still ground on stone rollers and mixed with poppyseed or linseed oil, and no additives or fillers whatsoever.

These artist grade watercolors continue the Blockx family legacy that began in 1865. They are made using the same processes developed many years ago. Pigments are mixed with only the finest quality ingredients, including the purest gum arabic and honey.

Blockx Soft Pastels are handmade in Belgium using pure pigments in the same tradition started by company founder and chemist Jacques Blockx in 1844. Pastels are soft and velvety in texture. Best-suited for use on pastel paper.
