Charvin Paint: Charvin Fine Artists' Oils
"This painting was created with Charvin Fine Artists' Oil Paints. I used the following Charvin colors: Anise Cobalt Violet Light Cinnabar Green Light French Red Light Medium Azarin Blue Deep French Yellow Burnt Umber Raw Umber Titanium White Medium French Yellow Light Cyclamen Light Cobalt Blue Mars Black Meadow Green Diamond Orange Pthalo Cyan and Light Yellow Ochre! I use Charvin Fine Artists' Oils for all of my work because it's consistently excellent true to color hues has great creamy texture blends well with cold wax medium and I love the vibrant and spectacular colors offered! The name of this painting is "Splendor" and was created with Charvin paints and cold wax medium. No paint brushes are used colors are blended wet-on-wet with cold wax medium and applied with a bowl scraper and palette knives. The trees are "scraped off" with a bowl scraper. Leave texture is added with a sponge."
