Red and Green and PG 19

I have a couple new reds so I started a new color chart to test them out.



I also discovered I don't have a pyrrol red, which was discovered by accident.
Do I need one?




I ran the afternoon shift at the boathouse today, and on the way over I stopped at Blick to get that Old Holland PG 19.

I knew I had one in Blick/Sennelier, but it turns out I have a Gamblin too!
The Gamblin is noticeably darker and duller.  It tints to a lovely green-grey.

The Old Holland and the Blick/Sennelier match color-wise, but the pigment load in the Old Holland is much higher.
The tube is HEAVY.

This is to be expected since it is Old Holland.




The main reason I got my OH PG 19 before the boathouse was so I could show Kedrin, because she has the same appreciation for paint that I do. She gets it, she understands.

It's nice to have a friend like that.


We had good clouds today.
