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.

Brown Ochre
- Pigment code
- PY43
- Chemical name
- iron(III)-oxide, partly hydrated
- Chemical formula
- Fe2O3(• H2O)
- Properties
- Brown Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown and is a dull, dark variety of Yellow Ochre. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. The highest quality Brown Ochre comes from Cyprus, where it is yellow in its raw form and is roasted to get the deeper brown-red varieties that result when water is removed. (See Yellow Ochre, PY42/43.)
- Permanence
- Brown Ochre has excellent permanence.
- Toxicity
- Brown Ochre is non-toxic.
- History
- Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It has been used since prehistoric times, and evidence of its use has been found in some of the earliest known cave paintings in Lascaux, France. It has also been called Goethite, after the German philosopher and mineralogist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).
- Description
- Goethite, Yellow Ochre.
Natural Light Red Iron Oxide
- Pigment code
- PR102
- Type
- inorganic, natural
- Chemical name
- iron oxide
- Chemical formula
- Fe2O2
- Properties
- Natural Light Red Iron Oxide is a brick red pigment with a bright, scarlet top tone. Mineral sources vary considerably in both hue and transparency. It is generally opaque and has great tinting strength and hiding power, but more transparent versions are available. It creates salmon pinks when mixed with white. Natural Light Red Iron Oxide is often replaced by Mars colors or bright red oxides, which are cleaner and more powerful.
- Permanence
- Natural Light Red Iron Oxide has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
- Toxicity
- Natural Light Red Iron Oxide has no significant hazards.
- History
- Natural red iron oxide comes from the mineral ore hematite, called bloodstone by the ancient Greeks from the word hema, meaning blood. It is one of the oldest pigments, has been used by every major civilization, and was an important mineral for medieval alchemists. It was not widely used in artists' materials until the 17th century and was not produced in large quantities until the 18th century.

Zinc White
- Pigment code
- PW4
- Type
- inorganic
- Chemical name
- zinc(II)-oxide
- Chemical formula
- ZnO
- Properties
- Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
- Permanence
- Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
- Description
- Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.
