Reeves Greyhound oil paint?

I found a used set of oil paints.Is this student or professional quality? Reeves Greyhound oil paint?
Reeves is a very old brand, been around for years . . . but they tend to be student grade. Here is their website: http://www.reeves-art.com/








My mom gave me a little Reeves acrylic set to encourage me to ';get back to my art'; after a series of grueling and rather debilitating surgeries six years ago. Since then I have had a solo show, won everything from honorable mentions to first place and people's choice awards, and sold dozens of paintings. Some of my art hangs in NYC in the home of a budding comedian, and in Hollywood in the home of a well-known entertainer. So, in spite of Reeve's being basically economical and student oriented, in the right hands it can lead to bigger things!





Go ahead and have fun with them. Did the cave artists ponder whether their earthen pigments would stand the test of time? Did JMW Turner know his beloved crimson hues would turn tail and run?





And for that matter, if a sidewalk chalk artist recreates the Mona Lisa, does it matter if it was done in Sennelier or Schminke pastels, or a less expensive brand of student grade pastel sticks?





Go for it! Get creative! Try something you wouldn't even consider with more pricey brands, perhaps. Reeves Greyhound oil paint?
I have and use Reeves oil paints on many of my works of art. They work pretty well and doubt if any one can tell they are not the better known brand and pigment wise they look really great. They do seem to be a little thicker than the other brands i use, but i take care of this with a little linseed oil. You can check out samples of the work i've done using Reeves at hellosanantonio.com under artist name GUERRO1. I don't use Reeves exclusively because i feel my other paints handle better with minimal thinning but they will produce a good professional and quality looking painting.
Don't know the brand, but one website referred to a set as ';perfect for the beginner,'; so I'd guess they're student grade.
