Fascinating and insightful conversation with oil paint maker Michael Harding:
Michael Harding’s past as an artist and his love of the Old Masters inspired him to create oil paints that are free from fillers, extenders, and driers – allowing the unique characteristics of each pigment to shine through. Michael Harding discusses his journey as an oil paint-maker, his favourite pigments, and how a winning lottery ticket set him on the path to success.
