Just what I need: more paints to lust after! :^)<br /><br />Seriously, I'm looking forward to reading more about the Rublev line - and someday perhaps buying some. Having not researched them much yet, I wonder if you know how they're dealing with the historic pigments that, with time, became infamous for their fugitive nature (the lakes, for example).Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29050224182954323582013-04-17T08:08:37.670-04:002013-04-17T08:08:37.670-04:00Nice sketch, James.

Check out the link at the end of the post and you can see their historic Girtin and Cotman palettes. They hand-make paints to simulate the pigments used before modern chemical mass manufacturers. I will definitely explain the individual pigments in a future post after I experiment a bit more.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30552159786358341772013-04-16T14:14:40.784-04:002013-04-16T14:14:40.784-04:00James,

Are those the same colors you used in your gouache Baltimore Statute painting on youtube? If you don't mind my asking, what pigments do those represent?PatternGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763094796840833777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-4803391720408017462013-04-16T13:49:16.219-04:002013-04-16T13:49:16.219-04:00Greg, thanks!

For those who don't know, this paint maker reconstructs historic pigments. I'll do a future post about the company after I experiment a bit more.<br /><br />And yes, we were on Virgin airlines. Virgin just got started in Newark, NJ, and Richard B was there the day we departed last week, and we almost met him.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-40632497191359044552013-04-16T13:26:13.038-04:002013-04-16T13:26:13.038-04:00Amazing indeed what you accomplish in a half hour,...Amazing indeed what you accomplish in a half hour, and very cool you got to meet the captain and see the cockpit. I particularly like the shadow on the runway. I was guessing you might be on a Virgin flight after seeing Richard Branson's name on the edge of the TSA guy post a while back. By coincidence, I read this post while taking a break from my first painting done with Rublev watercolors (introductory palette).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-89031921191864771052013-04-16T11:27:25.942-04:002013-04-16T11:27:25.942-04:00Amazing what you can do with a spare half hour!Amazing what you can do with a spare half hour!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975643397065262440noreply@blogger.com
