For this transition between two seasons, I wanted more fluidity with a generous and vibrant touch thanks to the use of the brand Old Holland, pure pigments crushed with virgin flaxseed oil, first cold pressed and clarified in the sun. Since 1664, this Rolls Royce of oils appreciated by most artists and art restorers from around the world goes through time, as evidenced by Vermeer de Delft, Van Gogh and Mondrian. With a creaminess that evokes the consistency of butter, these colors are perfectly diluted using a homemade medium or from the store. Other very good brands use poppy seed oil (variety of poppy) with too long drying time.
