    One of the biggest differences is how the paintings age. Expensive oils guarrantee that your artwork will stay perfect overtime and won't lose value, while cheap oils may oxidize and lose it's texture and color.

      You still have to know what you are doing - Fat over lean etc
      Student grade paints have fillers like alumina hydrate in greater quantities. They may be milled less (coarser pigment particles). They may not be stood for as long leading to oilier less well consolidated paint.
      The biggest likely difference is pigment concentration , light fastness or rarity of pigment . Rarity affects price. Lightfastness often does but not necessarily. Some Earth pigments have been refined more in expensive grades leading to greater purity. Very new high purity and permanence pigments can be expensive as they test the market for artist uptake.
      Artist quality paints should have Blue wool test 8/8/8 light fastness ratings at the top levels of archivality. Down to 6/6/6 at lowest ideally.
      8/6/4 would be Excellent LF full tone, Good lightfastness Midtone but only fair lightfastness for light tone with more. white. High quality paint would be formulated specifically for the pigment and binder used to achieve maximum workability and flexibility and be comparatively non yellowing or cracking when used well. (Fat over lean and appropriate levels of the right mediums)
      The very best grades of oil paint may have a damar resin/solvent component taking up some of what would usually be the oil fraction (e.g Schminke's Mussini- the most expensive paints I'm aware of. ) This imparts more gloss and should be of a purer hue and yellow less.

Cheap canvas tends to warp faster and tend to be gritty and easily damage paint brushes. Cheap canvas aren't archival either. The best gesso in the world can't fix those issues. All in all canvas quality does matter, and can have an effect on the painting experience, as well as the finished work.

    As an oil painter myself I do notice a difference between dollar shop paints & art store paints, but not much difference between high end & low end art shop paints. That said I believe the difference is often in the longevity of the paints. Cheaper paints can crack or become affected by uv. But these days very few people paint with the intention of said painting lasting for generations. I think the important thing is just to paint as much as you like and to buy the paints that you can afford.

      I don't know about that as these student paints are getting very reliable. I painted a piece at art school 15 years ago and it wasn't very good so it got thrown in the back of the shed. I discovered it last week, dusted it off and the colours were still as intense with no cracking. It was done in Winton oils and I believe these days student paints are chemically more reliable than they were even 15 years ago. Also it was by the window and would have been exposed to some light.

      @Michael Thornton I don't know about that, I think it's best to study the pigments and make a judgement. Earth pigments like Yellow Ochre are reliable whatever you use, the artist quality will just go further. Also pthalo Blue is reliable in both and I actually use the Van Gogh one because the artist quality is just too strong for me.
      Georgian is a paint to avoid though as when I was at art school that's all they sold there and you could see a chalky appearance to the works once they dried due to the filler. If I had to advise anyone on cheaper colours I'd recommend Spectrum, Van Gogh, or Classico, they're decent.

      That's what I took away from this. These things usually operate on a curve - so paint that's half the cost of the expensive stuff is probably 80% as good, half again would be 65% as good. $45 a tube is still a lot, but unless you're approaching master level skill you probably won't notice much difference, and you'll have a paint that isn't getting in your way like the $5 dollar stuff.

    To see if the expensive paints are worth it you need to leave the paintings for about 10 years and come back and then see which ones have faced the test of time.

      Since it's UV light which cause fading of paintings it spring to my mind an idea - maybe he can use sunbed sort of light (like portable table top one) to mimic sunlight exposure in much quicker time frame? They are not that expensive and may show difference in ligh fastness of paints quite quickly.

    @leewilliis8533 2 года назад +65

    As an oil painting artist for 41 years, my advice is cheap oil parts are great for beginners, you don't want to spend tons of money in learning to paint because it's not like training to do a job, with art, someone can show you how to but it takes practice. Most people forget all about what they initially learn and adopt thier own methods or techniques over the years. I feel that it is easy to get discouraged when looking at the prices of the supplies in the beginning so start cheap and then move up in time as you get better. Learn the process then buy the tools.

    • @HickLif3
      @HickLif3 Год назад +6

      As someone that has entirely way too many hobbies I agree to a point. Sometimes buying the cheapest thing allows you to at least try and see if you like it, but also the cheapest thing could be so bad that it makes the whole experience awful and make you not want to do it anymore when if you had decent tools and materials it would become a life long hobby. Leather work is one example where the cheapest awls or stitching forks can make it miserable. Generally I find the most expensive, the cheapest, and then look for a decent in between and then go with that and since I have so many hobbies I probably won't out grow the tool in it's capabilities before I need to upgrade.

      There's such a thing as too cheap! At least buy student grade like W&N Winton paints or Gamblin 1980s to enjoy painting and not be too frustrated. Otherwise you're just using oil and fillers with just a sprinkle of pigment wondering why the paint doesn't do what you want. Also get a couple decent brushes.

    Ok, so a lot to unpack, not sure if anyone is interested, but here it is.
    Oil paint has (or at least should have) two components only - pigment and oil. Viscosity comes from the pigment to oil ratio, but also from the type of oil that is used. Pigments are not born equally; some are more expensive than gold - compared gram per gram and others are dirt cheap because that is literally what they are - dirt. If you are, or would like to be a long time oil painter, then the best financial option for you is to mix your own paints since good pigment is usually cheaper than expensive paint; which brings me to my next point - paint.
    There is no reason for some paints to be so ridiculously expensive and other paints are very justified to be so expensive and that is down to the pigments used. The idea is that if pigment is cheap, then even cheap paint will not contain a lot of filler compounds to extend the quantity of the paint, but if the pigment is rare, cheap paints will contain more and more filler as the pigment gets more expensive, or worse, will contain a different pigment that imitates the original pigment. That is why a sound general advice would be to buy cheap earth colors and spend a lot of that hard earned money on the more exotic type of pigments like the cobalt family for instance.
    Regarding oil, cheap paint contains simple refined linseed oil, while expensive paint is usually made from stand oils which are harder to produce. Difference between the two binders is mostly the fat content; linseed oil has good viscosity with a lot of fat content and stand oil has the same viscosity but less fat content which makes it more desirable to use than normal linseed oil or other oils.
    In the real world knowing all these intricacies and how to navigate this weird maze gets tricky for a lot of people and the deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more nuanced and problematic this whole subject becomes. That is why generally is better to buy powder pigments and just mix your own paints. That way you can control all the aspects and properties of the paint and mix it just the way you like it and avoid all the drama and also maybe save a buck or two in the end.
    Cheers.

If you don’t buy paints which are made with rate pigments, like Cerulean, then you won’t spend so much more on the high quality paint (perhaps 40-60% more). I need my work to be lightfast (colour doesn’t fade/ discolour over time) and I need the pigment to be rich and finely ground. It’s expensive to make paint that way. I’ve actually visited some of the factories and it’s amazing to see how it’s done (by hand!) I guess you don’t believe in paying more than $10 for a paintbrush either. Eh, suit yourself 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Hi! I like to paint with oils and feel like I'm decently qualified to tell my experience on the subject.
    I like to try out different brands and tools and see what works for me so I've some experience on how they differ based on price too. (and some material and tool tips for beginners)
    TL;DR Cheap paints are good if you're starting out and expensive stuff will only aid you once you're already familiar with how to work the materials. Just paint!
    First and foremost the pigment quality. For my personal work, not meant for sale I tend to use a cheaper paint from the Van Gogh brand (At around 4€ per 20ml tube) and have a good 12 tube set. For my more "professional" paintings I use a mix of Windsor and Newton (about 20€ for a 40ml tube) and various other more expensive tubes for one or two colors.
    The pigment quality of a paint can be easily seen when mixing with white. The faster the hue "dies" and becomes pastel, the worse/less pigment there is. This can be a HUGE problem say, when wanting to get that perfect middle shade salmon pink with enough saturation but the paint just goes immediately to a dusty pink with a tiny bit of white.
    Second thing is the, as Jazza notes in the video: the opacity. Good quality oil paints tend to be more thick because it has a higher pigment to binder ratio, because it is expected that the artist mixes it with either a paint thinner (fyi, turpentine is a health hazard, use linseed oil. Cooked linseed oil yellows more than coldpressed but dries in like a week!) or oil. This allows for a wider range of opacity and paint texture, which is quickly lost with cheaper paints unless you want to glob the whole 12ml tube for a single stroke. Some paints are naturally more transparent than others, for example Indian yellow and alizarin crimson but you develop a touch for working with them with use.
    Then there is lightfastness and longevity. Good paints yellow slower. Now, a lot of factors from the pigments to the oil used down to the canvas painted on affect how fast the paint yellows, but with cheaper paints you can start seeing the effect in ten or so years, where as better pigments last for hundreds of years, remaining vibrant and bright. Nowadays even the cheaper (talking in like the 3-7€ per tube range) tubes are starting to have very decent pigments that last for much longer so this is something to consider really only if you want someone to be able to see the painting just as you made it even after decades.
    There are a ton of other things to consider too but those are the main big things for me.
    But!
    Important to consider as well are the brushes!
    Most of us here I bet are much more used to acrylics and pencils and our first instinct is to buy the cheaper brush. The synthetic, soft and uniformly shaped ones. While that can and does work to a varying degree, good brushes and more importantly (for me) natural bristles make a massive difference. It gets you more defined and bold strokes!
    Now, I'm not that cheap paints are bad, Infact I recommend buying cheaper paints for your first set to get used to the medium! Oil paints can easily empty your bank account if you use the expensive stuff constantly and it's not a secret that even the more professional painters often use acrylics or cheaper stuff for the base layers to use less time and oil on the canvas! It's daunting to get into oils because of the reputation but once you get past that first hurdle and start messing around with the paints, a dollar or two more invested into the set will help make the first trials easier to navigate. Fighting against the paint is never fun.
    Also, I recommend skipping the draw of the massive sets of small tubes with violets, pinks and pastels etc etc. You can make due perfectly well with very few tubes (I recommend the primaries, cold and warm + white, a viridian, yellow ochre and a strong violet shade. Mixing your own black is a good thing to learn but a nice mars/lamp Black doesn't hurt.) Learning to mix the colors you want is more important to me than having a million different ready mixed tubes or green to choose from.
    What I'm trying to say is: If you feel like you don't know the medium yet; get the cheap paints (I really recommend the Van Gogh paints) and just mess around with 'em untill you feel more comfortable. Expensive paints won't make you a better artist, but once you're already in tune with the tools, they help the work shine on further. Best thing to do is to just start painting!
    That's my two cents on the topic

    The basic formula for painting in oils is “fat over lean”, meaning your first layers should contain more oil and/or thinner and your last layers should contain more paint. With the expensive paint you would adjust the consistency as you work.

    Two comments:
    1. My art teachers say it’s always better to get the more expensive paints because they use better pigment sources and less extenders than the cheapo kinds. Even for students, they wanted us to use Windsor and other paints that started at $20 a tube instead of the $1 a tube paints.
    2. You should not make art with poop, at least not human poop. The risks of various types of nasty diseases are too high. Play with fake poop made of play dough or clay, if you can’t resist the urge.

    One thing to keep in mind, is over a short period of time the cheaper paints will fade and sometimes even chip or peel.

    It's not only about the longevity of the material, there are many aspects within the price. The ratio pigment:binder is much different with more expensive paint. Some brands dont use linseed oil as a binder but some other resins, as linseed oil yellows and darkens over time (Norma by Schminke). But the price of the pigment makes the real difference. The same brand and series of tube (lets say old Holland) can sell for less then 10€ and more than 150€ with the same binder and pigment ratio. Thats because some pigments are very rare or hard to manufacture. But its good to know that some of the colors are there for restoration, as you want to use the exact same pigment if you restore an old painting, and some older pigments had very odd ways of production, like dried cow urine or smashed louse. You can get the same or even more vivid colour these days with syntetic versions that are often much cheaper. So yes, no need buy the expensive paint as you can mix most colours with 6 tubes, that can still be very high quality.

      Its all about tradeoffs I suppose. What kind of difficulties do you want to face? I've noticed that a skilled watercolor painter can get a level of liveliness that is difficult to match with oils, but the precision and forethought required for watercolor are honestly well beyond me. Acrylics obviously form a happy middle ground, but unlike watercolors, you can't rehydrate color mixes that have dried on the pallette, so you have to be on point with your color matching. Like I said, tradeoffs.

    Here's the problem: You biased yourself the entire time by knowing which paint was more expensive, not mixing both paints before putting them on the canvas during the swatch test (yes, the expensive ones were oilier, that doesn't mean the other paint didn't need to be mixed), and then with the expectation that the cheap one would be noticeably worse, you put a lot more time and effort into the painting with the expensive paints.

    I think the cheap oils did an okay job. I fell that the more expensive oils colors had more depth. Maybe $1000 paints aren't entirely necessary for the average oil painter, but probably a better grade of oils might be important for someone who is even a Sunday, or hobbyist painter. Maybe if a parent is getting their teen who wants to paint a starter kit just to see if they really like it, it might work.

    • @toujin
      @toujin 4 года назад +15

      The expensive paint is mainly expensive because the pigment is expensive (genuine Chinese vermillion, genuine ultramarine blue, genuine Naples yellow). They’re historical pigments that have modern alternative mixes which are much more affordable, even by the same brand. So I guess to me, this is more ‘cheap paint vs. expensive pigment’ 😝 swap out genuine ultramarine for modern ultramarine by Michael Harding and boom, price cut by 90%.

      I started out with Winsor and Newton (about 25$ per large tube) which was a good start, and I believe an artist who is interested in oil paint needs to start with a paint of that quality because any paint lower than that is completely different, not only in the pigment but also the viscosity and how well it corporates with mineral spirits/glosses.
