Cranfield Spectrum Oil colour is a traditional linseed base Oil paint, the only exception to this, is that the Whites use a Safflour oil as its base. The range is a “studio,” quality oil colour that has been in production since the early 70’s. Spectrum oils offer exceptional value for money and are available in both 60 and 225ml tubes. Ideal for students, and amateur painters they are also popular with professional artists seeking an inexpensive oil colour for large works and underpainting. The range consists of a good traditional palette of colours with good durability and lightfastness throughout. The materials used in the manufacturing, are all sourced from UK suppliers. Cranfield Spectrum also manufacture a range of support mediums to complement their paints, such as Spectragel and Alkaflow, which can be used with most other oil paint ranges. For underpainting, there is also a quick drying Titanium white option available. The range does carry some genuine Cadmium colours and precautions should be taken when using these paints.

“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”

“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”

“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
