Master-Quality Oil Paints with Brilliant Color and Superior Handling

LUKAS 1862 Professional Artists' Oil Colors offer unparalleled performance for painters who demand richness, control, and archival reliability. Developed over 150 years ago and refined through generations of pigment expertise, these oils are crafted using an exclusive blend of linseed oil, sunflower oil, and beeswax. Each color is triple-milled up to seven times to achieve a smooth, buttery consistency and uniform particle size—making every brushstroke feel deliberate and precise. The high pigment concentration ensures brilliant intensity, while the shorter drying time (typically 2 to 4 days) supports efficient layering and studio workflow.

Engineered for consistency in hue and texture, LUKAS 1862 oils are formulated to meet the needs of today’s professionals while honoring the palettes of the Old Masters. The drying system uses both primary and auxiliary driers to promote even drying from surface to core, resulting in a strong, flexible paint film. With their luminous finish, excellent lightfastness, and balanced formulation, these oils are trusted by artists around the world to create expressive, long-lasting works of art.
