I’m in northwest Arkansas and make paints too! I’m only using local or other collected materials, but just knowing there’s another paint maker in the vicinity is pretty cool �� Thanks!Madison Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614790656483368615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-91556171902822519932018-06-03T06:04:07.640-07:002018-06-03T06:04:07.640-07:00Fascinating!

I live in Arkansas and hadn't heard of this paint maker- certainly makes it seem like a small world when you find out about someone local from someone on the other side of the globe! Thank you for all the time you put into your posts, you've helped me learn so much about color mixing and pigment information.KOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602216387243743208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-54652436445334360412018-04-17T01:23:24.044-07:002018-04-17T01:23:24.044-07:00Thank you so much for painting these out Jane!

I hope they are helpful to anyone else looking to make their own paints, I found it difficult to find good comparison swatches of most pigment suppliers' colors before I bought them to try. <br /><br />I should add a small correction, Perylene Carmine (still a PR179 pigment)from Guerra (I don't see a swatch here, perhaps I forgot to send some?) Is in my shop under the name "Perylene Maroon". I thought it was too dull to look like Carmine, and it better matched some other Perylene Maroons I have tried so that's what I went with. <br /><br />I think the "Cobalt Blue Dark" from Alex Artist Colors is likely just Ultramarine Blue, it didn't fade like their others in my lightfastness tests, but I still wouldn't purchase it again personally, since I hadn't intended to buy a hue. <br /><br />To anyone curious about interference mica pigments, they are extremely difficult to photograph as they only show their color from the right angle. The photos here have picked up on the "ghost" color, what appears when the light isn't hitting them. They show up best over a black background. <br /> EChttps://www.instagram.com/rivervalewatercolor/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-85623098551535822732018-04-16T00:19:35.114-07:002018-04-16T00:19:35.114-07:00I’ve bought a few half pans from “JasperStardust” ...I’ve bought a few half pans from “JasperStardust” on Etsy and been very pleased. I think she also offers whole pans. I may buy some of the whole pans when I decide what colors I really love. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.com
