I'm still firmly on my
art supply no-buy so this is more a dream-list than what I plan to buy.
The idea is to find paints that would give a representative sample of what the company is like while working with how I normally paint.
yellow ochre of course. Natural & synthetic iron oxide - Py 43, Py 42 are both well established as light fast pigments.
titanium white because it's a good indication of how the paint makers make their paint. Also, I think a zorn-like palette would be a good place to start. Titanium dioxide - Pw 6
Ivory black for the same reason as the white. Tri-calcium phosphate - Pbk 9
naphthol red to complete the zorn palette. pigment(s): Naphthol AS - Pr 170 (don't know the lightfastness of this yet).
(They do have a
vermillon version of naphthol, but it has a lot of pigments including zinc white. I don't enjoy white being pre-mixed into my paints, so maybe not this one)
red ochre is one I've always wanted to try. Synthetic iron oxide - Pr 101 is another well established lightfast pigment
And I would get their two naples yellow because I'm curious what it's like.
naples yellow light Nickel Titanate, Synthetic hydrated iron oxide - Py 53, Py 42 (I don't know the lightfastness on these pigments)
naples yellow deep which interests me the most as it contains only Chrome Titanate - PBr 24 (don't yet know the lightfastness on this pigment)
7 colours would get me to about $90CAD. I think that qualifies for free shipping, but with tax, a hundred and something easy.
The problem is, that's actually a very good price for professional grade paints. Although, I wonder if I really need the black and white as I have a lot of that with other brands and am unlikely to run out.
And thankfully, I'm on my no-buy so it's going to be a while before I can invest in something like this.
