Canadian made oil paint? Kama pigments

I stumbled on kama pigments oil paimt and it looks like they are made in Quebec, canada.



The price is amazing compared to other paint brands we can get here.  On par with the student line 1980, but from what I can tell, it's a professional quality brand, probably mid level professional which would put it somewhere near US-made M Graham (my current favourite) but more creamy and less runny.  Like M Graham, Kama uses walnut oil, so I am hopeful they also have a slow drying time.

That's all I know so far. But I want to know more, so a thread for gathering information about the brand with a view to making an order the next time I run out of yellow ochre.  I'm forever running out of yellow ochre, and a variation of the zorn palette seems to be a good way to judge a brand as the care they put into a cheap earth colour (or fail to put care into it) like yellow ochre, is a good mark of how the brand as a whole will behave.

Anyone paint with Kama before?  Or used some of their other art supplies?

Here are some beautiful images of their paint making process.



Having that much french in one go is bringing back trauma from my school days.  We are woefully terrible at being bilingual on the west coast.  I speak better Japanese than French.  Although reading French is easier.  This might be why I'm having so much trouble finding reviews on this paint.  Google is only returning English language results.

It looks like this video is too old for youtube to auto populate CC, but maybe if a few more people watch it, we can get some captions and I can read what he is saying.

Anyone up for the challenge?   Not sure if we can watch here or have to on youtube for it to work, but it usually takes only four or five people watching it to awaken the cc generator.
