Description
Richeson Oils The Shiva Series are a superior brand of oil paint that is made right here at our factory in the United States. Originally marketed and sold as Shiva Signature Oils, these paints were created by an artist out of personal need and passion. Ramon Shiva was interested in making a fine paint for himself and his friends in the late 1920s. Ramon's son-in-law saw the potential of this paint and encouraged him to make a real business of it. During this time, Shiva had a sixteen year-old errand boy by the name of Jack Richeson, who made deliveries to the factory and was fascinated by the paint making process. Richeson uses only pure, artists grade dry pigments, ground to each one's own correct degree of fineness and then formulated individually under exacting laboratory controls. They are guaranteed to be permanent, free from darkening, yellowing, fading and cracking, and are bound with the finest grade of alkali-refined linseed oil available.
