It's so amazing, almost like an ink! But she makes pans only, not tubes. The pans are very hard-milled and last a really long time.

I treated them like Sennelier due to the transparency, and after a few layers/glazes they have this weird misty/foggy "bloom" that appears. I've never seen it in another brand. They do much better blended wet in wet with perhaps one additional layer for shadowing. They are fresh and delicate that way, quite lovely, just don't go piling them on top of each other.waymire01https://www.blogger.com/profile/03156993957158840093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-55187662364666126072021-11-19T03:05:37.573-08:002021-11-19T03:05:37.573-08:00Sadly, I have to revise my positive commentary on ...Sadly, I have to revise my positive commentary on this brand. When squeezed into pans, it shrinks terribly as it dries, so it takes a lot of paint to fill a pan. Too bad, since otherwise it's a lovely paint, although the tubes themselves badly need a re-design... the caps consistently get stuck on, and the paper label on the tube tends to fall off.

I just love this handcrafted paint, and it dries to a "soft set" when creating full DIY pans, so no reconstitution needed, yet it's solidly in the pan, great for travel. I'd like to try the Cerulean but I hesitate because it looks more teal that a Cerulean usually looks. But you say you like it, Jane...would it be a good sky color though, being as cool as it is? <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752203528117428281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-74126598410947159792021-07-01T16:45:19.577-07:002021-07-01T16:45:19.577-07:00Most of the range is well chosen fairly traditiona...Most of the range is well chosen fairly traditional pigments, but Oxide Orange is a special colour that I've not seen elsewhere.

Any suggestions of colors that you thought best represented the brand that you think are "must buys" from them, such as any unique colors? Also, if you recommended any colors from their "Metallic Touch" line would be greatly appreciated.
