BELLAS ARTES S.L., Spain https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.637941399557389.1 073741839.166870829997784&type=1 un negocio centenario BELLAS ARTES S.L., en la cntrica calle Prez Galds, donde el dueo, heredero de los primeros propietarios, te sigue asesorando como si fueras el mismsimo Sorolla o Piole, por citar a algunos de sus clientes ms conocidos de antao. Como curiosidad deciros que son los fabricantes del ya clsico "tierra Sevilla" y no tienen pgina web ni estn en redes sociales. Un negocio que conserva la esencia de sus orgenes y el perfume de la pintura al leo

Old Holland http://www.oldholland.com/ The company is inherited by Albert Roelofs's son, Roelof Roelofs until it is sold in 1980 to Theo de Beer, who moves the company to Driebergen, where it is still located today.The only medium we use for our oil paints is cold-pressed extra virgin linseed oil, to obtain an optimum oxidisation (drying) of the paint

Jacques Blockx, Belgium http://www.blockx.be/en/histoire/historique.asp Iron oxides, earths pigments and blacks are ground with linseed oil. Other pigments are ground with poppyseed oil which prevents yellowing and dries without wrinkling or mottlingIt is this very legacy of the finest quality artists colors always slowly ground on stone mills that the 5th generation guarantees and offers you today.

C Roberson and Co, U.K. http://www.robco.co.uk/roberson/#/18/ Roberson oil colours are made for the professional artist who prefers strong colours which mix well. The tightly defined range of 59 colours excludes colours which artists may mix for themselves from those already within the range. The colourman grinds high quality pigments and cold pressed linseed oil on stone mills with no fillers, extenders or stabilisers. The result is a highly pigmented oil colour, bringing the artist stronger colour than other ranges and the probability of more economy in use. Roberson oils are not produced in volume for widespread distribution and each label is hand painted to show the colour inside the tube.

L Cornelissen and Son, U.K. http://www.cornelissen.com/ Products by Manufacturer: Pip Seymour Quick Overview Pip Seymour Early Oils Handmade Colour Chart. All colours milled in Cold-Pressed Linseed Oil from the East Wolds of Yorkshire (Lapis lazuli and Azurite are milled in Safflower Oil to retain purity of these delicate blue pigments) Pip Seymour Early Oil Colours. Hand made oil colours, prepared carefully to give optimum colour resonance. Each colour batch is made in small quantities (up to 1 litre per batch), so that each batch of paint produced is unique. According to the nature of individual pigments, colours may be machine ground, prepared in a hand-milling machine, or simply ground by hand using a glass muller. The colours are prepared into English cold-pressed linseed oil, from a single estate farm. This oil is a limpid golden yellow colour, is free flowing (brush marks tend to settle out of paint films) and pressed without the addition of driers. Because these oil colours are made without drying agents, they dry out according to the nature of the pigments used. We suggest a 10-20% addition of Fast Drying Oil Glaze Medium, to ensure balanced drying times. The over-use of driers can be the cause of failure of paint films, leading to cracking and wrinkling of the dried paint, loss of sheen and excessive darkening.
