Great White Great White

At the time of this writing we have not yet tried Great White. However, bear a few things in mind when reading the brand statements. Safflower oil tends to form less-strong paint films than linseed. Also this paint contains zinc white, and zinc has been linked to delamination issues in painting. Some sites selling this paint mention a “proprietary” blend of oils and pigments, which raises a lot of questions. It is unclear who manufactures Great White, and it appears to be related to Jerry’s Artarama.

“…A professional white oil paint made from the purest pigments and the clearest safflower oil. Its buttery smooth consistency dries to a strong elastic film that will not crack or flake. Apply in a thick impasto style or thin with solvent to create soft glazes or delicate highlights. Cover large areas quickly and thoroughly with the brightest opaque white oil paint on the market. Great White Artist Oil Paint is uniquely blanched to stay neutral and not alter color warmth. The white oil paint mixes well with other colors to yield clean, brilliant tints that resist yellowing.” -Great White
