Painting from life is a pursuit unlike any other. The challenges it presents and the emotion necessary to convey not just static scenery but to capture the atmosphere of a moment in time is to be greatly revered and admired.

Painting on Location: A note about travelling with CLASSIC Artist Oils™:

One of the many perks of being a painter is the ability to travel to distant places in order to express your views of the world through your art. There’s nothing like visiting another area, whether on vacation or commission, and finding inspiration. However, Triangle Coatings, Inc. would like to remind all artists of the importance of abiding by local and federal regulations for travelling with liquids, gels, or pastes. We are proud to report our professional grade artist oils are non-hazardous and safe for travel. For your convenience, we have prepared documents that should be included with your Classic Artist Oil Colors at all times during travel. Please keep in mind that state and federal standards may differ from region to region, so we recommend checking with your local laws and regulations before packing up. Happy Travels!
