Also theιr Artist line (jacksnon's) is very decent color line and with the price like studio lines from other brands.For the W& N paint their factory in Harrow was closed in 2012, and production transferred to the Lefranc & Bourgeois factory in France. As of the time of writing the Cotman (watercolors) and Galeria (acrylic) ranges are now manufactured in China.
Thanks for that great info! I knew W&N oil paint was made in France but I didn't know it was at the Lefranc & Bourgeois factory. Thanks for watching :)
it looks like Sennelier makes the Acrylic, Oil and Watercolors and the Pastels and the brushes Escoda and Princeton for Jackon's own brand. Although some earth colors in all the various paints differ from Sennelier but the general conscientious seem to be them.... Winsor and Newton also gets made in France mostly.
I use Winsor & Newton and Michael harding oil paints and wondered how Jacksons own paints compare. Thanks for checking them out. Got to say Jacksons are amazing when it comes to packaging.
All I use is Micheal Harding now, zero filler there's so much pigment and a little gose a long way. Some colours are very expensive because it's all real ingredients. All the professional paints are amazing from any company really.
@@bio-plasmictoad5311 " All the professional paints are amazing from any company really." You're wrong. Russian oil is disgusting. There is not enough pigment and cheap analogs are mixed.
@@Felmyst I'm talking about actually hand made paints. All paint makes have a "professional" series. What do you mean by Russian paints ? That's a bit vague.
@@bio-plasmictoad5311 old master by gamma, master class by nevskaya palitra etc. They call them not just professional, but premium quality paints. But in reality they are garbage.
One difference I've found between Michael Harding and Jacksons Pro is their respective indigo, MH is transparent and makes an excellent glaze where as Jacksons pro is opaque. its worth checking the ocatity as it might not be what you excpect if moving from a differnet brand.
Thanks Jason,always love your testing oil paints video,do you feel like me this kind of magic when opening tubes for first time ,seeing the pigment & oil smell...best experience with the lapis lazuli from M.Harding and Rublev (i finally order a lot of tubes from George Hanlon in UK and US for the minion red..)with the Genuine Naples yellow. How fascinating are the historical pigments..😁❤
I ordered twice from Jacksons art on Rakuten. I live in the south of France, the parcel took 2 weeks to be shipped. Mystery... But I definitely love their choice of products and prices, I will order again. Thank you for the review !
I did take the more expensive shipping option, so the standard probably takes longer. So far I am finding the Jackson's paints to be great! :) Thanks for watching
hey jason maybe you can get a video out to your followers bout the 10% off through the end of January on Blue ridge oil's, great chance to try some colors and get a discount. thanks for the video, always wondered about their paint
Hi Jason, what about testing M. Graham oils? I bought cadmium red and yellow. The pigment load is overwhelming, but they are manufactured with walnut oil and need more time to dry. All the best Willy
I've been painting in oil sense 1978 and the brand I first used was Grumbacher Pre-Tested Artists' Oil Colors. In the 40 years sense then I have tried several brands including some pricey ones and I have not found a better brand of oil paint as far as quality goes. All the Artists' Oil Colors on the market are excellent, some offer a wider range of colors and the store brands can be a great deal when they are on sale. I am currently using Sennelier and Rembrandt, but I would be perfectly happy to use Grumbachar if that was all that was available as a matter of fact I used them a few years ago and am thinking of getting another set😉........P.S. Stay away from that student trash there is a lot of affordable Artists' Oil Color out there😁
Dear Mr. Walcott; I would like to know from you if possible please the following: How do I lighten blue, red, and purple without using white ? Thank you! Fernando
Thanks for watching! It sounds to me like you are asking how can you make those colors lighter without them getting chalky...I'll bet anything that's the issue. You're going to need white to lighten colors, that is unavoidable, but you can add a warmth to your mixtures to keep them vibrant. For red, as you lighten it, add orange or yellow (just a touch) and for blue and purple, add a little red or red violet to the purple and/or a tiny (tiny bit) of yellow or green to the blue to nudge it towards turquoise. Hope that helps! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 thank you for your tips! personally, to whiten olive green I use Veronese green ( it is naturally lighter than olive green), by the same principle, I use cadmium red for alizarine, cyan for ultramarine or prussian blue, cadmium lemon for cadmium yellow... I guess zinc white ( I have Blockx) doesn't give chalky consistency as titanium white does, but I still experiencing, I'm not sure
fyi, from comparing the pigments used and the names it appeaes that their professional line is most likely Michael Harding. its unclear if they add more fillers or if irs thr same stuff.
Hi Jason, have you had a chance to try the St. Petersburg Master Class line of paints sold through Jackson's Art Supplies? I just ordered a tube of Strontium Yellow (PY32) in that line that I'm very excited to try. As far as I know, no other company still sells this pigment in tubed form!
Not sure how I avoided paying much on shipping, but I ordered from Jackson's and only paid $4.40 for delivery. It was for $52.67 worth of paints. I live in the Deep South, U.S.A. Could there be a minimum amount to avoid higher shipping?
No, in fact putting oil paint the freezer between painting sessions is a great way to preserve it and keep it from drying! Since it contains no water the cold temperature merely slows down the drying time so it stays wet. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all your tests, Jason, I have learnt more here than at art school. My question is, have you heard of Art Spectrum Oil paints? They are made here in Australia and I use them mainly because they are easily available and affordable. It would be interesting to see how they compare with other brands. (I buy other brands when I am flush with 💰)
Yes, I have heard of them! They make pastels as well and I have used those. I have not used the oil paints but from what I understand they are good quality. Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 there's one person unboxing them on youtube but no review against anything else and as you're an experienced painter who does good reviews I'd appreciate your oppinion. Their website has a good blog - I came across them with some articles on art style. I like the palette of colours that come with the paint but you only seem to be able to buy them as a set. I like the idea from the unboxing video that the lids are nice and deep and wide so allowing you to put them back on easily which is thoughtful practically but I want the paint inside to be good!!
Please do a review of Daniel Smith original oils. Need to know how good these are. Also they are one of those who produce pure titanium white pw6 color. Need to know how good that is against a Gamblin pure pw6 white. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion! It may be some time before I can do one though. Daniel Smith does not have as extensive a product line as they used to and I stopped using their oils awhile back. They are good...probably as good as Winsor Newton. I'd say you are better off with the Gamblin. :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jason, I have learned so much about oil paints and pigments from your channel! I am about to place an order of oil paint, just wonder which cadmium yellow is most useful for all kinds of paintings, would you think that would be cadmium yellow lemon or cadmium yellow light? Regards from Norway.
Thanks for the nice comment! If you are only going to get one Cadmium Yellow, then I would get Lemon. You can always warm it up with red to make a darker yellow, but you can't go the other way. :)
Have you used charvin oil paint and what would be your take on them? Looking at a really good sale for their paints but I dont want to buy if they aren't as good as windsor newton artist grade quality.
Thanks for watching! I have used the Charvin, and to be honest I wasn't all that impressed. I have only tried two colors though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. It seems like their color line is primarily mixed pigments. I prefer to use only single pigment colors on my palette, as that helps color stay cleaner. Hope that helps!
Jason, I paint using the Bill Alexander method and would like to know if you know of a really thick paint that isn't too expensive. Less than $10 a small tube? Thank you.
In this case I would recommend the Winton oils. Those are Winsor & Newton's student grade line. They run less than $10 per tube for the 37mL size. I haven't used them in years but back when I did they tended to be pretty dry and stiff like the Alexander/Ross oil paint. I would order one or two tubes just to test in case they've changed the formula since then. Thanks for watching!
@@benjaminb.6424 ...Thanks. The thicker the better. It can always be thinned down. Quoting Bill Alexander, "To make the paint thick is a hell of a job".
Please could you compare Camlin artist oil paint with usual brands you use. Reason being that Camlin is the only oil paint brand manufactured in India. This company has been purchased by a Japanese company few years ago. An honest professional comparison by you would be viewed by tens of thousands of Indian artists. Very seriously. Positively.
I have never heard of that brand and from what little I can find, they don't seem to be available in the USA. I did find some reviews on RUclips from Indian artists on some of their products. Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 99% of Indian artists use only Camlin artist paints in India. And that too without knowing where they stand in quality when compared to established international artist or professional brands. Any detailed comparative video would definitely be viewed keenly by several thousand Indian artists. Thanks for your response.

They are great! Very luscious and well pigmented. I'd say they are similar to Gamblin. Thanks!

In general, will it harm oil paint if it is subjected to freezing temperatures ? Great videos.
