ROYAL TALENS – Dutch Art Tradition Since 1899

Royal Talens was founded by Marten Talens in 1899 in the Dutch town of Apeldoorn. From a small paint shop, the company grew into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of art supplies. It received the “Royal” designation from Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 1999.

History of the Royal Talens Brand

Under the Royal Talens brand, you’ll find legendary lines: Rembrandt (professional oil paints and pastels), Van Gogh (student-quality supplies named after the famous Dutch painter), Amsterdam (acrylic paints), and Talens Art Creation (for beginners).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Amsterdam Standard and Expert acrylics?

Amsterdam Standard Series is ideal for students and hobby artists, offering great value for the price. Amsterdam Expert Series is designed for professionals, contains a higher concentration of pigments, and offers a wider range of lightfast paints with high viscosity. This is useful when working with a palette knife or creating bold textures on canvas.

Why choose Van Gogh watercolors over other brands?

Van Gogh watercolors are popular for their excellent lightfastness and ease of mixing. They are made with pure pigments and a high-quality gum arabic binder. This makes the paints easy to dissolve, with an intense shade and a very transparent look on paper, which is key to achieving subtle gradients and details.

Are Van Gogh oil paints suitable for beginners?

Yes, Van Gogh oil paints are an excellent choice for beginners and more advanced artists. They have a buttery consistency that’s easy to apply and holds brushstrokes well. They are safe, have a high degree of lightfastness, and behave predictably when mixed, helping you learn to work with oil paints quickly and efficiently.

What are Amsterdam mediums used for when working with acrylics?

Amsterdam mediums let you change the properties of your acrylic paints. You can use gels to increase volume and texture, matte or gloss varnishes for a final finish, or drying retarders to give yourself more time to mix paints directly on canvas. They are designed not to change the shade and to preserve the durability of your artwork.

How do Royal Talens art supplies differ from regular school supplies?

Royal Talens focuses on professional formulas, high pigment concentration, and long-term stability. While school supplies are intended for short-term creative projects, products from brands such as Amsterdam and Van Gogh ensure your artwork remains colorfast for years. They use quality binders and pigments to deliver a professional result with every stroke.
