Hi, I am currently living in the UK and studying Fine Art in university. I am doing a lot of oil painting and have noticed that you are able to buy 32oz cans of oil paint from America, but I was wondering if there was anywhere in the UK anyone knew of that sells large cans of oil paint (mainly titanium white).

Not offhand, no - but you could try Jackson's Art supplies: they may be able to help via the contact point on their website. The supplier of paint in the largest quantities tends to be Pebeo, whose products are obtainable from many art stores, but buying Titanium white by the can - I can only suggest you be careful with the quality of it. You might also try Roberson's - they can be a bit hard to find, but this is the sort of thing they might be able to do. American brands of paint are available from the Supreme Paint Company, eg Rublev: not sure that they sell paint in that sort of quantity, though. "Large cans" is a fairly elastic term - certainly, you can buy Titanium white in litre tins from Jackson's, if that's the sort of scale you have in mind. More than that - you may need a specialist paint supplier, but then it's possible Jackson's could point you in that direction.

Looks like Sylvia has come up with a better answer AND discovered an art supplier new to me!
