Experience The Quality of Michael Harding Oil Paints

When you choose Michael Harding paints, you’re investing in a legacy of traditional craftsmanship. Every tube is packed with the highest possible pigment load, free from the fillers and extenders found in student-grade materials. This means your colours stay luminous and true, year after year.

While Michael is legendary for his oils, the range has expanded to ensure every artist finds their perfect match:

Michael Harding Oil Paints

Known for their buttery consistency and incredible tinting strength. Because no fillers are used, you'll find that a little goes a very long way on your palette.

Michael Harding Watercolours

A newer addition that brings the same pigment-first philosophy to the world of water-based media. These offer an astonishing depth of colour that remains vibrant even when heavily diluted.

Michael Harding Gesso

A great painting starts with the right ground. Michael Harding gesso provides a non-absorbent, authentic surface that protects your support and ensures your paint sits beautifully on the surface.

Michael Harding FAQs

Why are Michael Harding paints considered "handmade"?

Unlike mass-produced paints, these are made in smaller batches with a focus on the unique properties of each pigment. This traditional approach ensures that the texture and handle of the paint are always top-tier.

Is Michael Harding gesso different from standard acrylic gesso?

Yes! Michael Harding offers unique formulations, including traditional oil-based primers and high-quality resin-based grounds, which provide a superior surface for oil paint adhesion compared to many standard alternatives.
