WRONG ITEM in image

I love this brand of color but if you try to buy Alizarin Crimson they will send you Burnt Sienna. I tried ordering a replacement and the same thing happened. Turns out they had put the wrong label on the outside of the box.

Pros
  • Alizarin Crimson is most commonly used as a cool red in base color palettes; Clear, similar in most properties and uses to Alizarin Crimson Gold but getting colder in shades
Cons
  • Very expensive

THE COLOR IS COMPLETELY SOLID IN THE TUBE.

CAUTION. I received this tube of paint in February and my husband tried to use it today March 30th and the tube is completely dry and he cannot pour the paint out of the tube. The company says it is a returnable item but when I tried to return it today as defective it said the return authorization expired on March 9th. This is misleading and unfair. It's expensive paint and he can't use it. I really hope they read this and fix it. If they don't I will update them and let you know they are…

Pros
  • Each color sample has been tested for weight, mixability, lightfastness, drying properties, pigment distribution and viscosity.
Cons
  • not reliable

Burnt Umber Best in Paints

The dark brown eyeshadow is burnt umber in a tube and the light brown eyeshadow is also white. Day 17 and I added more Cadmium Barium Yellow and Radiant Turquoise highlights on the roofs, some Cadmium Orange and Burnt Umber to start making the shingles and some Cobalt Blue and Burnt Umber outlines under all the eaves and along the shady sides of all building equipment, windows and doors. Four or five hours of work and the difference is almost invisible. :-) Glad I like it. Just a note. Burnt…

Pros
  • Pre-tested Professional offers artists a contemporary palette with superior tinting power and is made in the USA.
Cons
  • No power
