Artist's Quality Oil Colours, Student Grade, Fast Drying or Water Mixable?

In the UK the quality of oil colour products is roughly divided into the following groups :-

Artist's Quality Oil Colours
Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour is unmatched for its purity, quality and reliability - a success which is reflected in its world-wide reputation amongst professional artists.

Michael Harding Artist Quality Colour is made by hand, using techniques which date back to the days of the Old Masters. As an artist and painter he wanted to create colours that were true and vibrant, and paint which was beautiful and durable. The greater the pigment content of a paint the greater the resistance it has to fading.

Student Quality Oil Colours
Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Colour is a traditional range of oil colours, made from moderately priced pigments, formulated for student and amateur artists or more accomplished painters requiring large volumes of colour within moderate cost limits.

Daler Rowney Georgian Oil Colour offers artists high performance at an economical and uniform price across all colours in the range. Georgian Oil Colours are carefully blended and tested to produce the most brilliant colour, and match tint and texture from batch to batch.

Fast Drying Oil Colours
Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour offers the excellent advantage of faster drying times compared to traditional oil colours. This means that the traditional oil techniques of both impasto and glazing can be done in considerably less time and a painting can be completed in a single session.

Water Mixable Oil Colours
Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil colour. The key difference between Artisan and conventional oils is its ability to thin and clean up with water. Hazardous solvents are not necessary for Artisan and artists can enjoy a safer painting environment, making it ideal for artists who share a work space, schools or painting at home.
