Charvin has a long tradition of producing fine artists’ oil colours using the highest quality ingredients and time-honoured processes. Based in Cannes in the French Riviera, Charvin’s long history began in 1830 and their products have been a standard for quality ever since. The colour makers at Charvin slowly and expertly produce oil colour paints much in the same way that wine makers produce wine, ensuring their products have a true character and lovely finish. It is this dedication to detail and hands-on approach that make these oil colours one of the world’s greatest art supply treasures.
Once used by great masters like Cezanne, Bonnard, and Ambrogiani, Charvin Professional Oil Colours are now available for any discerning painter working either in the studio or en plein aire.
CHARVIN FINE OIL 150ML represents an excellent compromise between a quality oil and a good price-quality ratio. It should be noted that the difference between the Charvin ranges of fine and extra-fine oils is the grinding time “ extra-fine oil is ground for twice as long as fine oil, while the process is adapted to suit each pigment.
