Student vs. Professional 
Grade Paint

You will notice some manufacturers produce two grades of paint. The prices for their student grade paints are less expensive than the professional grade. This is because the actual pigment used to make the color has been reduced or replaced with other fillers.

Ask for Damon!

Earth colors, like naples yellow, burnt and raw sienna, burnt and raw umber, yellow ochre are nice to have on your palette sometimes. You could mix any of them from primary and secondary colors, but to be honest, it would be slower and more expensive.

Transparent Earth Red — use in place of Venetian Red for glazing

Asphaltum — lightfast match to popular 19th century glazing color
