The 69 pigments offered are pure, free of fillers, and have optimal lightfastness. They have been finely selected according to their origin, their chemical compositions, their solidity and their vivacity: a rigorous selection of pigments used in its manufacturing processes for Oils and Extra Fine Watercolours, and Dry Pastels. Whether you are a beginner or a professional artist, you will have the possibility of total control in the preparation of your colours with beautiful results. BlockX has been manufacturing artist colours in Belgium since 1865. In the BlockX tradition, the colours are made with highly concentrated and meticulously selected pigments from around the world. All the pigments are used pure, with no bulking agents added whatsoever, for maximum saturation. Still today, the slow mixing and grinding using a cylindrical porphyry grinding stone is performed with the utmost care for the colour itself and is as close to hand-grinding as possible for an extremely high-quality result and optimal finesse of the pigment. This traditional production method prevents the colours from overheating, thereby ensuring they remain fine, smooth and pure. The BLOCKX pigments have received acclaim from the greatest artists, including Salvador Dalí, Edward Hopper, Camille Pissarro and René Magritte.

All shades have a lightfastness on the wool scale of at least 7 out of 8.
