Charvin Oil Paints: Rich Colour and Smooth Application
Charvin oil paints are formulated with the finest pigments, offering a high concentration of colour for maximum vibrancy and longevity. The paints are ground using a slow, traditional milling process, ensuring a smooth, buttery consistency that enhances brushwork and blending. Their high pigment load provides strong covering power, allowing artists to achieve bold, opaque layers or delicate, luminous glazes. Whether working with alla prima techniques, layering fine details, or building rich textures, Charvin oil paints offer complete versatility for painters of all styles.
Designed for professional use, Charvin’s oil colours feature an optimally balanced oil-to-pigment ratio, preventing excessive yellowing over time while ensuring a durable, flexible film once dry. With an extensive colour range inspired by classic European palettes, these oil paints offer both traditional and contemporary tones, allowing artists to bring their creative visions to life with depth and precision.
Versatile Applications for Every Oil Painter
Charvin oil paints are suited for a wide range of techniques, from traditional realism to expressive, modern applications. Their smooth texture and high pigment concentration make them ideal for direct painting, blending, and layering. Artists who favour glazing techniques benefit from their transparent and semi-transparent colours, while those working with impasto can take advantage of the thick, malleable consistency.
The carefully refined oils used in Charvin paints contribute to their rich luminosity, ensuring that colours remain vibrant and true over time. These paints adhere well to various surfaces, including canvas, wood, and primed panels, offering artists the flexibility to explore different creative approaches. Whether working on detailed portraits, expansive landscapes, or abstract compositions, Charvin oil paints provide the control and richness needed to achieve stunning results.
