Langridge is an Australian brand renowned for its dedication to producing innovative professional oil paints of the highest quality.

Langridge Professional Oil Colors are formulated to provide artists with colors that are both vibrant and true to their source. By focusing on pigment purity and avoiding unnecessary additives, Langridge ensures that each paint offers maximum tinting strength, clarity, and depth.
The brand’s oils are ground with a blend of refined linseed oil, chosen for its clarity and ability to enhance the natural characteristics of the pigments. This careful formulation results in a paint with a smooth, buttery consistency that allows for easy blending and layering.
Langridge offers an extensive range of colors, including single pigment paints that highlight the unique properties of each pigment, providing artists with a versatile palette that covers everything from earthy tones to bold, modern hues.
Langridge is also committed to maintaining the safety and integrity of their products. They offer a range of solvents that are designed to work harmoniously with their paints, allowing artists to modify the texture and drying time while maintaining the vibrancy and longevity of their work.
