Professional or Student grade ?

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

Professional - traditionally known as Artists Quality the better makers have always called
their top grade colours 'Artists' quality but this term is often abused by makers of cheap
poor quality colour and now causes confusion. Artists quality colours sold at
Newcastle Arts Centre is always the best of that make and are priced to reflect the quality
of colour and manufacture. For this reason colours are divided into different price groups
or series determined by the cost of the genuine colour or pigment.

Student Grade
These are good quality colours made to a single price range. Expensive pigments are
substituted for cheaper colours often named as 'hues', for example ' Cadmium red hue'
is a colour that looks like Cadmium Red but does not contain any of that pigment. The Talens Van Gogh range uses modern pigments and can be used for professional work.

School Grade Colours
Very cheap colours that generally do not mix well and are not light fast. Often described as 'poster colour'
We avoid them.
