In my Oil Paint Brand reference<\/a> I ignore Lukas oils, assigning them to the student-grade category. Recently I purchased an assortment of their 1862 line<\/strong>, which is their premier line. The prices for the 1862 line is inline with affordable professional brands such as Blue Ridge, RHG, and Winsor Newton. After I put them through their paces, I’ll post a review and update my reference.<\/p>\n

One thing that troubles me is that they add beeswax to their paint. I hate adulterants in paint. If I want something in the paint, I’ll put it there myself. I don’t believe the beeswax is added for economy (although it might be), but it still bothers me. For binder they use cold-pressed linseed oil (which I like) and safflower oil (which I don’t like).<\/p>\n

Another thing that bothers me is that Lukas doesn’t offer any lead-based whites, which is a huge negative. Color me skeptical. Anyway, I will give them a decent trial then update my reference.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: I wrote more about using the Lukas oils<\/a>.<\/p>\n
