DeSerres fine oils offer a large selection of colours and quality nuances, vibrant, opaque or transparent, which blend with one another and are resistant.  DeSerres oils are made up of pure pigments, rigourously selected and finely grounded, producing smooth and onctuous oils which are easy to work with and durable. Designed to meet the needs of professional artists as well as amateurs, DeSerres oils are a good value.  Practical information: Dilute using oil, essences or mediums. Oils should be of the same brand to avoid problems with blending and drying. Use a varnish to protect the canvas (it is recommended to varnish after drying for 6 to 12 months depending on the thickness of the paint).  Avoid inhaling particles. Drying: 3 to 6 days. Uses: glazing technique, large canvas, etc. Care: soap and water, odorless petroleum essence, turpentine essence. Supports: canvas, cardboard, wood panels, etc. (Mediums must be prepped to keep from absorbing too quickly). Basic material: Medium, painting medium, oil paints, paintbrushes, turpentine essence, wood or disposable palette, painting knife.
