I do prefer WN raw sienna and cerulean to others'; they seem brighter to me. And then there are colors only available in certain brands, like DS green apatite genuine or Holbien's bright violet.<br />I also try to But colors that are made from one pigment, not a mix.<br />But I have to say I've spent years chasing the "right" colors--and as a result have an insane number of tubes--when I probably should have spent more time 1) exploring the colors I did have and 2)working on my control of the ratio of paint to water, which, I'm becoming increasingly convinced, is one of the keys to brilliant color.<br />I'll post some palette pictures soon.laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-31577657051129708102016-07-09T17:24:13.783-04:002016-07-09T17:24:13.783-04:00Hi again Laura,
