Occhuzzie Paint Company sells oils.

Occhuzzie uses and sells top grade refined linseed and safflower oil. This means our oil has been filtered into almost a clear state. In turn this gives us paint with less yellowing as it dries. (a common occurance in whites)

We have two sizes to choose from 16 or 32oz cans.

We also carry odorless mineral spirits, great for cleaning brushes or thinning paint also sold in 16 or 32oz cans.

Occhuzzie Paint Company also sells dry pigment,

Occhuzzie also sells dry pigment for the nontraditional or experimental artist. We sell pigments in different sizes ranging from 1/4lb to 1lb.

Occhuzzie Paint Company's jars are easily accessable,

When shopping Occhuzzie, you'll notice that our paint is in jars over the traditional tube. We chose jars for a couple of reasons, one is that the paint is easily accessible from our wide mouth jars. Another advantage to using jars is that there is no wasting paint, when your finished you can put it back in the jar! Our jars are sealed when packaged so to guarantee freshness. Lastly our smallest jar at 65 ml is almost twice the amount of paint you get with other companies with close to the same price!

Occhuzzie Paint Company has a wide range of colors to choose from.

Occhuzzie has a wide range of colors to choose from, currently 45 and still expanding. We take great pride in the milling process so the paint stays consistent from batch to the next. Our paint is dense with pigment, full bodied and creamy.

The Savannah College of Art and Design will present its first Art Materials Trade Show, offering an array of art materials at discounted prices, Oct. 5-6, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Oct. 7, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., at the River Club, 3 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

The trade show’s exhibition hall will feature more than 20 vendors who will demonstrate the latest and best art materials available — all of which will be for sale at a discounted price during the three-day event.

Among the vendors is Occhuzzie Paint Co., which is owned by SCAD alumnus Lance Main (B.F.A., painting, 2000).

Participants at the trade show also will have the opportunity to attend lectures by authorities on art conservation, painting, history and architecture. In addition, attendees can pre-register for three-hour, hands-on workshops taught by SCAD faculty, local artists and National Gallery of Art representatives. Lectures will be held Oct. 3-5 at the Telfair’s Jepson Center for the Arts, 207 W. York St., while art workshops will be housed at various SCAD facilities and studios Oct. 5-7.

The trade show was conceived and organized by professors in the foundation studies department. Foundation studies faculty are also teaching some of the hands-on workshops.
