Real Oil Paints That Perform Like the Pros

SoHo Urban Artist Oil Colors are crafted for artists who demand authentic oil painting performance at a value price. These thick, rich paints are slowly triple-milled, allowing pure refined linseed oil to fully encapsulate each pigment. The result is a buttery consistency, luminous finish, and exceptional handling—ideal for everything from delicate glazing to bold palette knife work. Unlike many student-grade alternatives, these oils behave like true professional paints, making them a perfect fit for beginners, experienced artists on a budget, and anyone who uses a lot of color in their practice.

With a strong pigment load and smooth mixing capabilities, these colors provide the foundation for clean, vivid mixes without surprises. They don’t blotch when thinned and are suitable for all techniques, including staining, layering, and expressive impasto. Designed to replace the need for lower-quality student paints, SoHo Oils let first-time artists explore true oil performance without compromise. And when it’s time to level up, the transition to a premium brand will be seamless, thanks to the authentic experience these paints provide.
