Excelente charla Sr. Harding sobre sus pinturas de óleos para artistas. De la calidad de sus pinturas me quito el sombrero, pero su elevado precio en España hacen que sean casi imposibles de comprar por pintores noveles y con un presupuesto corto. Son sus pinturas extremadamente creadas con un porcentaje mayor de pigmentos que otras marcas de calidad vendidas en este país. Pero solo desgraciadamente las pueden adquirir pintores que gocen de un gran presupuesto económico. Un saludo y siga fabricando pinturas de óleos de alta calidad y que podamos los pintores noveles poder algún día adquirirlas.

I've just ordered a pot to try. The one point I would make is that the late great Edward Seago produced his own gesso which he designed to be ultra absorbent so he could paint rapidly and often in one sitting.Indeed I spoke to a lady who lived near Seago in Norfolk who occasionally went out painting with him who insisted that towards the end of his life (he died in 1974) he was mixing powdered Snowcem into his gesso to increase absorbency. So it would be great if you were to produce a highly textured super absorbent gesso to sit alongside your current product. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic news!! As a handmade watercolour maker I appreciate watercolour paints that stand out, and something tells me these will be quite special!! Cannot wait till autumn to try these new watercolours!!! 👍🏼👍🏼🧡

"Autumn of 2021" Here we are in the last month of 2021 and no word on when these watercolors will ever appear. Update please for those of us longing for these!! 🥺

[@rachelpieters784]

40 colors! Woot! I hope they're single pigment! I actually shouted "Yes!!!" when I heard this.

I’ve really enjoyed watching all three of these ‘In Conversation’ videos. It’s been fascinating listen to your heritage and your technical knowledge. I’d really value a raw umber non absorbent acrylic primer. For my imprimatura.

I can't wait. And can't wait to see Vicki Norman doing her lovely colour mixing videos.
BTW could you please ask her to make more videos :)

[@anne-marieolivier8318]

Such exciting news!

[@francoisvillon1300]

I am the FIRST IN LINE for your watercolours!!!

[@gideonros2705]

I think I will try the non-absorbant acrylic ground. It's very problematic when painting with a lot of browns, blues or black shades. Very difficult to assess tone.

… can we purchase / obtain spare tube caps (in the U.K.)??? 🌝🙏

[@kofiankobra3128]

I hope you make real manganese blue PB33 in your new oil colours

[@DizoriaN]

40 more?! Hell yeah! :D

[@poo79884]

40 more colours?? wow that's amazing. I just need to win the lottery myself so I can afford them all.
