About this product range
- Luminous, professional quality colors at a standout value
- Hand-ground pigments in safflower and linseed oils
- Powerful tint strength and excellent lightfastness
- Rich and responsive for suave brushwork
- Strong single-pigment range for clean color mixing
Blick Artists’ Oil Colors deliver all the performance of the leading professional brands—at a fraction of the price. Loaded with premium, hand-ground pigments and suspended in pure, first-press safflower or linseed oil, colors are individually ground on a traditional three-roll mill for powerful color strength, responsive handling, and superior lightfastness.
Most colors use safflower oil for non-yellowing permanence, while select pigments—such as Cerulean Blue—are suspended in poppy oil for a slower drying time. Deeper values like Ivory Black and Sepia are made with traditional linseed oil for added richness and durability.
Thirty of the 60 colors are single-pigment formulations, giving artists unmatched purity and precision in color mixing. Whether you're building a professional palette, refining your technique, or seeking premium quality without the premium markup, Blick Artists’ Oils deliver studio-trusted performance at unbeatable value.

It can be used in all media without reservation and is widely used as an alternative to Lamp Black and Ivory Black.

- Toxicity
- Mars Black has no significant hazards and is the only major black pigment considered non-toxic.
