You can find Rosa Gallery oil paints in Canada at our RUSART shop only. Let’s see what’s interesting bout these paints and why you should take a look at them.
How Rosa paints were formulated
Rosa Gallery oil paints are quite a new product. When ROSA formulators were working on selection of colours and their performance, they decided to collaborate with professional artists. They were preparing samples of different colours with different pigment load and combination of pigments and gave them to artists for “blind testing”. Artist were choosing colours based on a better performance and other characteristics. And these choices formed ROSA Gallery palette.
Special Binder: Linseed Stand Oil
ROSA Gallery oils paints have linseed polymerized stand oil as a binder. Stand oil here is close to liquid honey by texture and colour. Benefits of stand oil is shorter drying time, thicker texture and higher viscosity. Once dry paints have moderate glossy finish. We see ROSA Gallery oil colours perfect for all prima techniques, when you paint and finish your painting within one round.

Pigments Used
ROSA Gallery Paints contain both organic and inorganic finely ground pigments. Combining carefully selected pigments with polymerized linseed oil they obtain pure bright colour with natural look. Cobalts and Cadmiums here are hue. Rosa oil paints are manufactured in Ukraine. So, pigments there are different from what artists use in North America. That’s why ROSA Gallery oil paints can become a good complement to any modern artist’s palette.
Signature Colours
There are few special colours in ROSA Gallery palette that were formulated by artists from scratch. One of them is Flame Orange by Petro Bevza. This orange is so pure and so intense that makes it work perfectly for glazing and final touches.
Serhiy Savchenko is creator of another very beautiful colour – Azure Black. It makes very unique hues and shades. Definitely worth to try.
Based on different tests that RUSART team and supporters performed, we categorizes ROSA Gallery oil paints as artist grade. Just reminding that we have 4 categories:
- Children (high-quality paints for young artists with no harsh chemicals)
- Casual or Studio (budget student grade paints that a less expensive, but have lower performance or light fastness. These products can be interesting even for professional artists for underpainting, rough sketching etc.)
- Fine or Artist (high-quality artists’ paints and other supplies for every-day painting)
- Professional (top quality supplies that any professional artist can rely on)
