Marshall's Photo Oils

Comments about Marshall's Photo Oils:

Without the pm solution you cannot really use the paints. The kit is unusable. Dickblick offered to refund 15% of the total (which is 7$)… not much of a reduction for useless expensive tubes of paint. As I use these in my professional art practice, this has cost me valuable production time.

Comments about Marshall's Photo Oils:

I can't order any of these sets without knowing the colors. There is no list, and the photos have no text label. I would never recommend a standard (RGB) "Red" or "Blue" for a starter kit. Mixing them together makes mud, not purple.
Cyan (clear blue sky) and Magenta (dark pink) will mix the best variations of the spectrum, so if you want a GOOD introductory kit, start with these plus Yellow and Black. It's all you really need for color basic mixing. (CYMK)

Comments about Marshall's Photo Oils:

Marshall's oils are perfect for handcoloring my black and white silver gelatin photographs. They have long been the industry standard and as of late have been more difficult to find in individual tubes as opposed to complete oil sets. Dick Blick's has a great selection and filled my order without delay.

YEARS AGO MY WIFE TINTED PICS FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER
SINCE COLOR CAME ON THE MARKET IT HAS BEEN A LOST ART
RECENTLY SHE FOUND SOME BLACK AND WHITE PICS OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN AT A YOUNG AGE.
WITH THE DESIRE TO COLOR THEM WE FOUND THE PHOTO OILS AND THE PROPER PAPER TO ACCEPT TINTS AT BLICK
MANY THANKS
