I started making oil colours back in 1982 while I was studying Fine Art. I had always been inspired by Rembrandt's paintings in the National Gallery and I wanted to try and recreate his paint effects and glorious colours in my own work.
If at first you don't succeed...
Not surprisingly after a number of failed attempts I realised something was missing. It wasn't just Rembrandts genius that I lacked but also the actual materials he had used; My original materials would not behave in the same way as the paint used in his work and the colours had a totally different appearance.
My quest began. I was determined to get what I needed Oil paint that was of the same quality and consistency as that used by the Old Masters. After a number of months doing intensive research I turned my flat into a small oil paint mill.
