Blick Artists' Oil Color

Comments about Blick Artists' Oil Color:

I have bought oil paints and brushes with some frequency since I 1st discovered the ease and savings afforded from buying this way from this supplier. I have been more than satisfied by the products. What has sold be even more is the service. I once ordered a product that was not what I expected. I phoned the number provided and got a lovely woman who solved my problem immediately and satifactorily.

I have recently bought this oil paint from the Blick line of paints. The paint is diluted and has almost no body to it. Too much vehicle and not enough pigments.

I use oils in a makeshift watercolor manner for the appearance of pen and ink.

The down side here is that the tube broke on the end and I had to use duct tape to fix it. This happened the FIRST time I used it. The paint is good, but rather thin tube material.

I'm now using only Blick Artist oils in my current work.

If you haven't had the experience of painting in oil where the oil is safflower oil, then you really owe it to yourself to try the Blick Artists' Oil Color line of paints. On either canvas, board, or gessoed masonite, these colors render a satin like finish that is unmatched by linseed oil based paints. With modern non-aromatic mediums, the negative side of safflower oil drying times can be greatly reduced. The colors are vibrant, bold, and literally jump off the support in greeting your eye. Plus Blick's price point for the line is very competitive. Highly Recommended.

I have not used Blick paint before. I'm usually Le Franc or Rembrandt - but Le Franc is limited and thought it time to seek a replacement so I'm giving Blick a try. My first reaction to the paint is highly favorable. It has a creamy consistency - covers well - and stays true to color. I use Liquin Impasto as a medium and the paints work well with it. So far, I'm very pleased with the choice and will order Blick again. Just FYI - I've been a Blick customer for over 10 years and am just now trying their oil paints. What was I waiting for???? (head scratch)

I normally use Winsor and Newton oil paints and for the price (especially as a poor college art student) I would definitely say the Blick oil colors are a great competitor and will most definitely purchase again! I actually prefer the Blick titanium white consistency to the Winsor and Newton. I believe Blick uses more linseed oil so if you are into that, it is definitely worth giving a shot! I haven't used brands such as Holbein (again, poor college student) so I don't have a say on that. But as a student who still wants good quality paints for a cheaper price, these are perfect!

This is not a true Naples Yellow. It's a nice yellow, bright and clear, but not Naples. I was disappointed.
