STEVEN
Old Holland make very good paints evidenced by the stiffness. They are at a maximum pigment load and couldn't be any drier. If your paint is soft and flows easily it is over oiled so at a lower pigment ratio. Stiff paint can be oiled down to your requirements. Wet paint cannot be pigmented back up. In other words you can add but you can't subtract oil.
I tried other top brands which were gritty and ruined a canvas, so I stay with OH now. You get what you pay for. If you want to save money using this brand you can for example choose cheaper yellows or reds or blues for mixing and more expensive colours for neat colour areas. You can also mix secondary and tertiary colours rather than buying the exact colour you want which saves a lot of money too; I did the maths.

Great paints, thick reliable and full of pigments. One of my favourite brands along with gamblin.
LEWIS
OLD HOLLAND - NOT A QUALITY ISSUE, BUT A POLICY CHOICE! - OLD HOLLAND is a great oil paint, no doubt about that. It is very stiff [aka short] and heavy, and the results in oil painting are obviously outstanding. However...
I must penalise OLD HOLLAND in my Review, with just one star, on account of their high price policies - not necessary at prices as high as this - which do not reflect simply the high cost of very expensive pigments.
Yes, some pigments are indeed expensive, but NOT as expensive as to justify almost £150.00 for a 225ml of paint. Other manufacturers, as good or better than OLD HOLLAND do not practise exorbitant prices like this, and it is about time OLD HOLLAND gets lambasted across the chops for exploiting artists like this.
The other point I should make is OLD HOLLAND's heavy reliance on heavy metal pigments, such as Cadmium, Cobalt, Lead, Manganese and Chromium. Professional ranges manufacturers - LeFranc & Bourgeois is an honourable example - are reflecting concerns by offering the same colours in heavy-metal-free formulas offered along the traditional ones.
Heavy metal pigments are toxic, but some are more than others. Cadmium is a confirmed carcinogen and artists are starting to realise that everytime they wash their brushes, residual toxic waste is landing on the environment. It is high time for a change in attitude.
The use of a genuine Cadmium or Cobalt or the use of a modern high quality replacement pigment do NOT turn an artist into a professional or non-professional. The ultimate result on the canvas is what matters and results can be achieved without resorting to highly toxic pigments.
OLD HOLLAND needs to review its policies, its price practices and its marketing approach. And it needs to be penalised where it matters - the Reviews - so it starts listening.
Denise
Superb! - I like these very much. The consistency is quite thick & stiff. Extremely good quality, heavily pigmented making it rich in colour.
