Graduate Oil colors are traditionally made with a buttery, soft consistency and high pigment load. They offer excellent brushability and are easy to mix, while being suitable for both flat brush and impasto applications. All colors are either Permanent 4**** or Normally Permanent 3***. The surface dries to a low satin finish and uniform gloss within four to five days. The color palette consists of 42 vibrant colors, many of which are single-pigment, to ensure cleanliness and brilliance when mixed. Graduate Oil has a balanced color palette of opaque and transparent shades. This is ideal for painters who enjoy experimenting with layering techniques with transparent or opaque oil colors to create bold, expressive techniques.
