I’m a fan of Michael Harding paints for their excellent colours and high pigment content .
This used to be standard across the industry but no longer. good paint is now a premium product.

My aunt was a painter in Paris from the Fifties onwards. I inherited her oil paints – these little beauties are 40-50 years old and not only still usable but are very fine quality. I occasionally find old tubes in charity shops, sadly not too often. If you’re lucky enough to do so, don’t be put off by their grunginess. Beauty comes from within!

Otherwise it’s all the way.
