Pigments vs. Paints

    I would really like to know what pigments are best for making paint yourself & in particular, ones that would be best to buy already made. I know at least one pigment, maybe more, I have purchased & later found out I probably should have just purchased it already done. Watching the Color Notes & seeing the difference between hand mulled & machine ground made a huge difference. I realize it depends on the properties you’re interested in. I prefer a smoother, less gritty paint, so I would rather just buy the paint rather than the pigment. It is nice to buy the pigment if I’m not sure I’m going to like using the color, though. I thought maybe this subject would make a nice video if you had time. Thank you! Pam

    Hello Pam!

    It is a great idea! In our videos, we often discuss that some pigments are not in the best behavior, whereas some are ground beautifully. We will schedule this session.
