Rembrandt Oil Colours, manufactured by Royal Talens in the Netherlands since 1899, are a professional-grade oil paint range offering over 120 colors. Known for consistent quality and strong tinting power, they are widely used by figurative and realist painters internationally.

Guerra Paint & Pigment, based in New York, produces handmade oil paints and pigments for fine artists. Their oil paints are known for high pigment loads and distinctive handling properties, used by painters who seek alternatives to mass-produced commercial brands.

Schmincke Mussini Oil Colors are a resin-oil paint — pigments ground in a medium of dammar resin and safflower oil — manufactured in Germany. The resin base gives faster drying and greater luminosity than standard linseed-oil paints, and the range is used by painters seeking the glazing properties of historical resin-oil media.

Liquin Original is an alkyd-based painting medium that accelerates drying time and improves flow of oil paint. It produces a satin finish and allows overpainting in one to two days rather than the days or weeks required by traditional oil mediums.

Gamsol is an odorless mineral spirit manufactured by Gamblin Artists Colors in Portland, Oregon. It is the mildest solvent available for oil painting — fully refined to remove harmful aromatic compounds — making it the standard studio solvent for painters who avoid turpentine fumes.

Blick's Masterstroke Interlocking Bristle Brights are long-handle hog bristle brushes with interlocking bristle construction for spring and paint-holding capacity. Their bright shape — flat with short bristles — is favored by oil painters for controlled, opaque strokes.

Blick's Scholastic Wonder White brushes are synthetic bright brushes offering soft, flexible strokes at a price point that allows painters to use them freely and replace them without hesitation. Their synthetic filaments hold paint well and clean easily.

Blick Essentials Brown Nylon Utility Brushes are large-format (1" to 3") brushes for broad paint application, priming, and ground preparation. Their low cost and durability make them studio staples for painters working at scale.

Blick Painting Knives are flexible steel palette knives for mixing paint on the palette and for applying paint directly to canvas. Their tempered steel blades come in various shapes for different mark-making effects.

Raphael Paris Classic Brights are hog bristle brushes made in France. The bright shape and interlocking bristle construction provide spring and control for oil painting, and the brand has been manufacturing brushes since 1793.

Raphael Golden Kaerell brushes are synthetic sable brushes offering the softness and point of natural sable at a fraction of the cost. Their golden synthetic filaments hold paint well and provide smooth, controlled strokes for detail and blending work.

Richeson Disposable Palette Paper is a coated, tear-off palette pad used by oil and acrylic painters. The 12×18 inch sheets provide a flat, non-absorbent mixing surface that is discarded after each painting session.
