It's thick because it's had a high pigment load WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT IN HIGH QUALITY PAINT, you want to add the other stuff yourself to make it exactly how you want it, you get more bang for your buck that way. It's also super expensive though, but it's the best IMHO.

Old Holland is thick because it has a very high pigment load. They use less than 2% additives, if any (and if there it's for specific reason). Most colors are just pigment + extra virgin cold pressed linseed oil.

Old Holland and to a lesser extend gamblin's stiffness is due to high pigmentation which is exactly what you want as a professional artist but just because less goes a long way but also because it gives you a flexibility that others don't offer. You can simply add your oil/medium to make your paint EXACTLY how you want it for each and every application, your starting with a perfect base which let's you go the full spectrum as far as thick full pigment mode or smooth/creamy down to a more oily runny thin paint, while the other brands that might be perfect or a little oily out of the tube will have less options available since you can't add more pigment in them to fix them. Im a OH guy but I also have MH, Williamsburg, Gamblin, Blue Ridge and a couple others to get colors that might not be offered by OH

My issue primarily is that I can't use mediums, as I live in a New York City apartment with poor ventilation and a fake window that I'm pretty sure is against fire code. So I have to use paint right from the tube with no modifications unless I decide on one day testing how the park department feels about plein air.

I really enjoy this video, I bought a plastic palette with spatula from Woolworth for 1,50€ and will try to mix white with different blues tomorrow and store them in small plastic containers which I also purchased at Woolworth for 1,50€.

I love limited editions also but unfortunately I'm not in the US right now. So envious!!! I also love the end of the year Greys some companies put out using left over pigments from that year so that every year's grey is different. The weight is difference is due to the weight of the pigments used inside. The Amsterdam Blue seems to be using all fairly lightweight pigments vs say a color that might be using a heavy pigment such as a tube of Flake White. That's why some tubes of paint feel like it weighs nothing at all while others feel like you are working out at the gym just by lifting them. 😅

Thanks for your awesome review...do you like OLD HOLLAND OIL PAINTS? Curious...thinking of investing in some, though more of a watercolour painter...do you use linseed and turpentine with your old Holland oils?

@CallyKariShokka 16 күн бұрын

I use zero mediums, including linseed and turpentine, because my painting area has zero ventilation and I'm afraid of the fumes. 😅 I just use paint out of the tube. Old Holland is really high end and has a solid amount of pigment compared to a good number of other paints, but it's a bit too stiff for my liking. Some artists PREFER it stiffer, but since I can't use mediums to make it more pliable, I lean more towards Michael Harding and Gamblin. It honestly depends how you prefer to paint and what consistency you like your paint to be. I'd absolutely give Old Holland a try at least and compare it to other brands.

Limited edition!!! I'm a sucker for those lol. Thanks for the video, I love seeing color swatches. As for pronouncing those names... Meh... I live by the creed that all words are just made up anyway, especially paint colors lol, so I gave up long ago trying to figure out the "correct" way to say everything, it's even worse when trying to pronounce the Latin names of my tarantulas. I have 30 different types, that's 30 different names to butcher lol

@CallyKariShokka 11 ай бұрын

Oh man, scientific names from the 'we are obsessed with latin' era of naming things is absolutely brutal. ... Though I think I prefer it to the modern 'lol memes' method, which is how we ended up with a 'sonic the hedgehog protein'...

I hope they add it to their perm line........btw what is the difference btween , lake, deep and extra in old holland? i think perm is long lasting the best ?

@CallyKariShokka 11 ай бұрын

"Lake" is the origin of the pigment which was originally a dye, extra is the amount of pigment (vermillion extra vs standard vermillion), and deep implies it's darker and more saturated but sometimes it lies. But generally pigments and oil paints are just weird and you never really know WHAT you're going to get until you play with it a little bit, and some brands, despite having the same exact name as the other brands, look different.

Jerry's Artarama website is giving it away with $50 of Old Holland oil paints while supplies last, I am not affiliated with them, I just shop from them. Here's a link to their current offers so you can see all the current stuff they got: www.jerrysartarama.com/promotions/rebates-promotions Other art supply stores often have 'buy X and get this thing for free' offers, I just check them often.
