The strange thing is that Charvin oil paint is produced in France, but you can not buy it in any of the artist supply shops in the European countries. Instead you find it in the USA or in Australia.

That is so strange and a huge bummer, because they are nice paints. If you are in Europe looking for a good brand of oil paint, Rembrandt is an excellent option!

Thank you! I love Charvin paint, the poppy oil in them dries a little slower than linseed but doesn’t yellow over time so the colors stay true.

Yes! It has some great qualities long term, great point 👍 Also it is great for people used to linseed oil based paint because there is really no difference in texture or how it handles on canvas!

Those Charvin colors look really nice, like candy. Yeah, the separated oil can make a mess if you don't expect it while squeezing it out. I have had a tube of Utrecht and tube of Winsor & Newton flood my palette with oil when I had to squeeze harder with the larger 150 ml tubes.

I do theoretically like an oily paint over stiff, but yeah… the mess. This palette is very beautiful, great for landscapes and floral paintings
