Michael Harding Oil Colours are among the finest oil paints available to artists today. The colours have a high load of top-quality pigments which are ground in refined cold-pressed linseed oil (safflower oil in Titanium White No. 1). They are completely free of fillers, extenders, or driers, resulting in pure, rich, and vibrant colours that are lightfast and buttery.
Michael Harding paints are made by hand, using techniques which date back to the days of the Old Masters. There is a very simple reason for this painstaking process. Harding's past as an artist and painter compelled him to want 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. Nearly all manufacturers use various fillers to extend the volume of the oil paint. It may increase profits but it compromises on quality. Harding refuses to do this: 'Why make something exceptional and then dilute it?'
First manufactured in 1982, Michael Harding Artists' Oil Colours are popular with some of the world's finest artists, including David Hockney, Chris Ofili, and the late Sir Howard Hodgkin.
