Pigments and Light fastness Only very costly pigments are blended or substituted. Only the light fastest pigments in their categories are chosen. Instead of very costly inorganic pigments, like cobalt pigments or real earth pigments from the Toscana, organic or (synthetic) inorganic pigments off best quality are used. Please also see our colourcard, where all used pigments and their light fastnesses are listed, no pigment used got less than a light fastness of 6-7 on the wool scale.

Binders   are pure and bleached linseed oil or sunflower oil from the best available sources. The finest bleached bees wax gives the buttery and short consistency.

Pureness  LUKAS Studio colours are without any resins or other evaporating ingredients. They can be painted directly from the tube. By addition of the mediums 1 - 6 the artist can choose individually the technical features according to his wishes.
