Made by the Australian artists' colourmen Art Spectrum, Art Prism oils offer artists a high quality, yet straightforward and uncomplicated range of colours at a uniformly low price.

Manufactured on a triple mill in the same classic process as Art Spectrum Professional Grade Artists Oils, Art Prism colours do not, however, contain the more expensive traditional pigments. These are substituted by modern alternatives with similar lightfastness, but at a lower cost. The pigment strength and intensity is lower than Art Spectrum professional grade, however our testing has led us to believe that Art Prism colours contain more pigment than any other 'one price' oil paints on the market.

Permanence & Performance

Art Prism colours have been carefully formulated to provide permanence and performance - the smooth, buttery consistency making them ideal for achieving many painting styles and techniques; and the carefully balanced pigment strength providing for ease of colour mixing. Art Prism colours conform to the ASTM standard D4302-90 and are rated I and II for lightfastness.*

Colour Range

The 26 colours in the Art Prism range provide a balanced palette capable of producing almost unlimited clean colour mixes. They provide students, hobbyists and leisure artists with an ideal base from which they can later expand into the beauty and exciting possibilities offered by the full range of Art Spectrum Professional Grade Artists Quality Oils.

* With the exception of Alizarin Crimson, ASTM III, which is permanent in the top tone but known to fade in glazes and pale tints.
