This is my go to medium, it gives my paint that long flowing length that I need and it dries to a satin finish, it keeps my darks dark and as I use the figure in my work I love the idea that the powdered glass adds something to the nature of that transparent, reflective quality in skin.
I often run out of my medium and panic then I email James and it magically arrives the next day, I think via broomstick.
Speedy drying time. Gives a nice even finish. Pleasant to work with. It was well packaged and arrived quickly.
i am satisfied about the pozzuoli red , it s a nice warm color to use by portret painting , service and delivery as always very good .
Easy to use site and great comms all the way, will use again
Using these paints is like being born again without the religious bit although it's certainly an experience .
This pthalo blue is exceptional in quality and colour.
Fast delivery and well packed
That saying "You get what you pay for" can be said for Rublev paints ,I've tried a number of makes and nothing compares to them , a bit like Supreme Paint company .
I nice impasto makes nicer Brush marks than other butter impasto but it seems to take longer to dry
This French burnt Sienna is a fair bit darker than the Italian one being more brown than red. The Italian burnt Sienna is exactly what you'd expect it to look like. However this darker version will still be very useful on the palette & as versatile as its Italian cousin. When tinted with Lead white it is cooler but not as much as the raw pigments are before heat is applied. Certainly a very good tune of paint handling well & mixing well with other Earth colours & primaries. I have been very lucky to be able to own many of Rublevs paints, including over 30 different Earths & I can honestly say I haven't been disappointed with any of them. I can't say that about any other company producing oil paints now. Stunning quality paint as always & highly recommended.
Burnt Sienna is one of those colours that is widely know about & a classic that will always sit nicely on many an artist palette. This particular burnt Sienna is totally authentic as the pigment is sourced from the Sienna region of Italy & like all of Rublev paints contains the purest pigment & the highest quality oil which result in a beautiful tube of paint that cannot be bettered. It's handling is wonderful & being semi-transparent can be used as a glaze to help bring more depth & vibrancy to your work. Also the variety of styles & subject matter make this a very versatile paint whether you're painting landscapes, wildlife, fauna or portraiture this paint is a joy. I believe it is also worth mentioning how refreshing the integrity of Natural Pigments is in an ever increasingly greed driven world, thank you NP & Supreme.
Only yesterday I attached a review of Langridge paints on a YouTube video by Australian artist, Andrew Tischler. This include my review of the Cobalt Teal hue, manufactured by David Coles.
I have not yet used the Cobalt Teal in a painting but I am excited by its brilliance and lustre, and I shall no doubt use it in the near future for shadows on portraits and waves on seascapes.
Here is the review I sent to Andrew:
"At long last I have been able to source Langridge oil paints in the UK (for onward delivery to me here in Sweden). I took delivery of four tubes just last week: Transparent Yellow Oxide, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue and Cobalt Teal. I find the Yellow Oxide an excellent replacement for both Yellow Ochre and Raw Sienna since it is more transparent than either of those. (Transparent Red Oxide is another colour that effectively replaces Burnt Sienna) The Cobalt Blue, in particular, excites me. I have long had an aversion to this colour since my experience of it (mainly with acrylics and watercolours) has been underwhelmingly disappointing. I have found all those Cobalt Blues to be dull, lacking in vibrancy and with a greyish tinge. Langridge's Cobalt Blue is a true mid-range blue with no bias towards either yellow or red and it is positively alive! I absolutely love it. The Ultramarine (my favourite hue of blue) is also gorgeous. I bought the Cobalt Teal on your (Andrew's) recommendation and I have not regretted it. Langridge oil paints are up there with the best, and I include such excellent makes as Michael Harding, M. Graham, Williamsburg, Maimeri, Old Holland and Rembrandt in that assessment. Thank you, Andrew, for bringing the exquisite Langridge range to my attention, and thank you, David, for making such a wonderful product."
And thank you too, Supreme Paint Company, for allowing me access to such a special paint.
I have always been sceptical of cobalt blue as a colour. In watercolours and acrylics it always seems to possess a muted grey cast without vibrancy. As a recent (very late) convert to oil colours I was more than impressed with the Langridge cobalt blue since it has a clarity of hue that I haven't experienced before. It seems my search for a true mid-range blue that is bereft of either a distinct greenish or purpleish cast is over. I am a convert to quality brands (such as Langridge) and I am very happy with the four tubes from this manufacturer that I have recently bought.
This company deserves a five star rating.
I was recently browsing through a number of internet websites looking to improve my Artistic endeavours with Oil painting techniques from which I learned about the use of Rublev Oleogel Resin as an Oil Paint Medium.
Having researched further about this product, which is widely available in the United States of America, but difficult to obtain in sufficient quantity within the united Kingdom, I then discovered that the only real seller of this product in the UK was "The Supreme Paint Company".
After reading their website I decided to purchase a 250 Ml tin of Oleogel and was pleasantly suprised at the eficiency of This Company, who dealt with my Order immediately and kept me informed of the dispatch and delivery process too. I received my order via the post the very next day. I am well pleased with my order and find it to be every bit as described. Excellent service. Many thanks also to The Supreme Paint Company for their promptness and the use of their easy to use website that made this transaction possible. Will definately use again in near future.
From a satisfied Customer.
This is an amazing product and definitely worth the money, Thank you Supreme Pain Co! :)
This is a very rich high chroma red Earth & handles beautifully. Being semi-transparent it works very well as a glaze adding vibrancy & depth to many hues. Mixed with many of Rublevs paints especially the Earths & chromes gives you a treasure trove of lots of different colours. In mass tone it sits very well with its complimentary green & the wonderful greys you can mix with Italian raw Umber green & lead white. Once you've tried these paints I honestly believe you'll want to try more, fantastic paint.
Of the many Cadmium reds I've been lucky enough to use this, to my eye is the best. It handles beautifully & has an extremely high pigment load. As James says in the description above it's more like a blood red than the swatch looks & is very intense. For a comparison it's almost the same hue as Michael Hardings Cadmium red deep & nowhere near as blue leaning as the swatch, well at least on my monitor. Well worth the price in my opinion & another triumph for Natural Pigments.
Nice for moody landscape clouds
A very efficient service and the oleogel is an excellent product, giving body to oil paint especially when painting over a previous wet layer, yet the paint is easily
workable with a brush.
I had bought a tube of Winsor and Newton Oleogel but I have found it to be too stiff for my type of painting. It is probably good for those who want impasto effects but my style has less texture. I find the Rublev gives me more choice from a fine to textured finish. Oleogel was recommended to me by Michael Klein on a recent workshop.
The product was delivered efficiently and best of all free. Thank you.
Really terrific paint. The semi-transparent nature of this paint means you can subtly adjust tone.
Terrific prompt delivery, top service
