Rive Gauche

Made by Sennelier, Rive Gauche is named after the Left Bank of Paris where Sennelier was founded in 1887. The special property of these oil paints is that they dry to a satin finish, twice as fast as conventional oil paint, while retaining the characteristic buttery texture of fine oil colours. This allows the artist to work twice as fast. Since they are made with safflower oil like the Sennelier artists-grade paints they also yellow much less than traditional oil colours.
