CHARVIN FINE OIL colours offer a remarkable compromise between quality and value for money. They are CHARVIN's basic quality, and offer excellent value for money. These paints have a creamy texture and high covering power.
Poppy oil is the main binder. It imparts a lustrous sheen, creamy texture, and, most importantly, prevents yellowing of the colours over time. Moreover, it also provides opacity for certain colours, intensity, lightfastness, and unparalleled resistance to aging. These oil colours can be used for traditional painting techniques, including Flemish methods, by utilising appropriate mediums. Additionally, due to its thick texture, it is well-suited for impasto painting techniques, particularly for Plein Air painting.
