Masterclass Extra Fine Artist Oil Paint Set Of 12x18ml

12 oil colors in 18 ml tubes, MASTER CLASS professional series by St.Petersburg Nevskaya Palitra.

The extra-fine artists' oil colors of the MASTER CLASS series represent thick ground fine mixtures of highly-qualified pigments and binding agents produced on the basis of linseed oils. The natural resins- dammar and mastic- are added into compounds of the binding agents. Great brightness and purity of colors. The paints are distinguished by a perfect balance of primer and finished colors. Fine-grained, dough artist’s colors of MASTER CLASS series are notable for their excellent lightfastness.
