Set of oil colors with accessories. 1862 OIL finest artists' oil colors are known for their unmistakable buttery consistency, incomparable color intensity and a particular high pigment concentration.

For LUKAS 1862 OIL Finest Artists’ oil colors, only selected, unadulterated pigments from the tradition of old masters are used. The incomparable color intensity with the highest lightfastness is ensured by the particularly high concentration of these high-quality artist pigments. 

The unmistakable, buttery consistency of our top oil color assortment is achieved through the careful combination of the finest oils with a trace (0,5-1,5%) of the finest, bleached beeswax which also makes the color film for the restorer less brittle.

A uniform drying of all shades without cracking is guaranteed by the use of high quality, specially purified linseed and sunflower oil. The typical drying time for LUKAS oil paint is 2 to 4 days across all color shades, with a thin brush stroke of 100 to 120 μm. Sunflower oil is used in the manufacture of the lighter shades to greatly reduce the traditional «yellowing» that occurs when made with linseed oil.

The perfect balance of this particular oil color is due to formulation and manufacturing: The balance between pigment and binder and the very long and traditional three roll mills production allow the color to always have the same consistency and processing characteristics.

The wide color spectrum of shades is based on the creative needs of the artist and leaves no wishes unfulfilled. Whether true cadmium, cobalt or earth pigments - the oil painter has all the classic valuable shades that were already found on the palettes of the old masters. At least 50% of all the shades are single-pigment-made and therefore ideal for the clean mixing of further, luminous color variation.
