The most fulfilling experience as an artist is painting like an Old Master. Why not use an Old Master set comprised of the genuine pigments the Old Masters used? I love this set—it has some of my most beloved pigments, including Genuine Chinese Vermilion, Genuine Lapis Lazuli, Genuine Naples Yellow, and of course, the ever-gorgeous Rose Madder, made from the root of the Rubia Tinctorum plant.
The Old Master set contains:
- Italian Green Umber
- Cremnitz in Linseed
- Rose Madder
- Genuine Naples Light
- Genuine Chinese Vermilion
- Lapis Lazuli

Great value for great quality paints! This set was my ‘eye-opener’ into the world of proper oil paints. The difference with Michael Harding paints to others, are clear when you use them. They go much further than other paints and you don’t need to add any mediums to work with them as they are so buttery and beautiful. As for the Old Masters Set, it is the perfect sampler to try out the traditional hues before spending the big dollars on a larger tube (and I stress again, they have much further reach so a small tube goes a long way!). As a mainly portrait artist, these hues are just irreplaceable, their earthy gently softness are so natural looking in comparison to the synthetic alternatives and they replicate the dewy, shine that human skin has on the canvas like no other. There is simply no going back for me now! :D
