Van Gogh Paint Oil TRAN OX RD, Transparent Oxide Red, One Size 2053783

Value and price are matchingI like the price.

the condition of the paint when I got it look like it had already been used

I only buy the 200ml tubes. Great price when you consider what a name brand goes for half the size

I'm a professional artist that has been painting for more than 40 years, and during that time I've tried so many products for my work. Earlier on in my painting journey, I believed that expensive meant "better quality" and there's some truth to this but not for all products on the market. Being "young ,broke and just starting out" I had to use what I could afford and Vangogh was one of the first budget paints I tried and I fell in love with them! The colors are consistent with what they are called ie, Ultramarine Blue is just that and is comparable to the more expensive paint. The pigment to oil rate is perfect and I can use it like I would with the more expensive ones (some products contain too much oil and not enough pigment)and the paint doesn't slide off or absorb into the canvas but I do prime my canvas prior to painting. A little goes a long way and the mix ability is great as well, the colors don't wash out or turn gray, they stay true to the base color. As you can see in the picture the painting I'm working on has plenty of "green and blues" and most of them have been blended or are right out of the tube. They are my go to for oil painting on a budget without the budget look!
