LUKAS 1862 is a pure oil colour without the addition of resin solutions with evaporating components. Real bees wax is used as the main component as a consistency agent to give the colour the desired buttery short consistency and makes the film less brittle. The colour can be used directly from the tube.
LUKAS 1862 oil is thus in the tradition of the finest artists’ oil colours, made in Germany. Well known masters such as Vincent van Gogh, the brothers Achenbach, Beuys or Baselitz trust or trusted the superior quality of the oil colours from LUKAS.
All 70 colours are available in 37ml tubes and 44 colours in 200ml tubes.
