Blockx Oil Colours
Extra-fine oil paints made in Belgium by the Blockx family since 1865, still hand-ground on slow-rotating stone mills using traditional methods. Earth tones and blacks are ground in linseed oil, while all other pigments use poppy seed oil to resist yellowing. Every color carries a minimum lightfastness rating of 7 out of 8 on the blue wool scale. Blockx is the oldest artist paint manufacturer continuously run by its founding family.
