• Smooth buttery consistency
• High level of pigmentation provides good covering power
• Excellent tinting strength and clean mixing for rich, vibrant colours
• Colours remain unchanged from wet to dry
• Very good lightfastness: Mont Marte Premium Oil Paints have a lightfast rating of 6 or above (equivalent to ASTM2). This means that under museum lighting conditions, the pigment will remain unchanged for 50-100 years
• Slower drying time gives you more flexibility to experiment with layering, blending and brush techniques
• Touch dry after 3-4 days (completely cures in 6-12 months)
• Finish varies across colours in the range
• Non-toxic

Handy hints:

• Use oil paints with wooden palettes (solvents such as turpentine and white spirits may damage plastic palettes)
• Change paint consistency by adding small amounts of turpentine and linseed oil
• Prepare your surface with a coat of primer
