Our upgraded collection has nearly doubled from 30 to 54 colours. Vegan-friendly and loaded with pure pigments, the improved formulas have been tested to be as high or exceeding the amount of tint found in other top brand named oils. And even then, many of these hues you won't find elsewhere – they're unique to Opus!
Expansive yet boutique, our new range has been expertly crafted by a small batch artisan with over 45 years' experience. Every shade is manufactured with a specific method, drawing the best from each pigment and maximizing its quality. We never use fillers and are thrilled to provide such rich, varied colours with such a strong mixing ability.
Opus Essential Oils – a professional paint at an economical price.
Customers praised these oil paints for their "sharp and clear" colors and excellent value. Many appreciate the consistency for blending and mixing. However, some shoppers noted excessive oil content, describing paints as "too runny and soft" with insufficient pigment. Long-term customers value the quality, though earth tones perform better than other colors.
Color is sharper and clearer and consistency is better for mixing and use.
They blend beautifully and the colours are strong and true. The price point is excellent.
Good balance of pigment to oil. Consistent texture.

Opus Titanium White
This oil paint has a good solid body with quite a bit of oil that tends to squirt out at first. It is a very good quality of paint for the money.

Found that the tube that I purchase was way too runny and soft.
Had to let it sit on a paper towel to absorb the runny oil.
Will not be buying this paint again!

I have used other brands but Opus oils are the best. Color is sharper and clearer and consistency is better for mixing and use.

Opus Essential Oils - Ultramarine Violet & Quinacridone Violet
I needed these shades to improve the quality of a sunrise sky. Wonderfully smooth application and delightful shades, so superior to any mixture of reds & blues that I was able to get!
