Artists Materials - Colours In Oil

Brush/Roller/Pallette Knife

Stokes pastes are widely used as artists colours.

Intense colour and high tinting strength.

• This is a quote from the artist Edward Beale who is pictured here in his studio.
• The things I first liked about this paint were its malleable viscosity and how well it lent itself to impasto painting.  The paint is best used boldly.  I use heavily loaded brushes to add an element of unpredictability which I like to exploit.  I aim for a sense of energy within a painting.  The density of the colours and sensuousness of the paint on the brush are other important qualities.  It dries with a sheen that I like very much.  Its sheer abundance is liberating.  I enjoy being able to use paint in such large quantities.
• I was first told about the paint in 1968 at Camberwell School of Art by tutors who were already using it.  It was recommended to me because of its high quality and reasonable price.  The twenty eight pound kegs (now five litres) of paint were a revelation to me.  I would order several tins at a time.  I always felt a thrill of excitement to see them arrive by lorry, all the way from Sheffield.  I continued to use the paint through my years as a student at the Royal Academy, and have been using it more or less ever since those days.
