Very interesting and helpful process! Tubing your own paint is something I've never considered, but it sure looks gratifying to be able to utilize your own tubes and paint for an artwork.
Hi, I would like to know if the Naples yellow and the Rose pale blush are opaque in color or would it be necessary to spend a little more with the artists line
Depends on the pigment/mix. True Naples yellow (PY41) is opaque but pricey. Other manufacturers offer a Naples yellow hue, like W&N (PBr24) are also opaque. Rose pale blush, the W&N version anyway, is a mix (PW4, PY42, PV19) and is opaque as well. Zinc white (PW4) is no longer recommended in artist oil paints for longevity due to delamination and cracking. Consider Gamblin's Naples Orange (PW6, PY43, PR188) they use titanium white (PW6). Or you can mix your own with via the demo in this video. Cheers!
alternatively when you use the paint tube roller/squeezer guy if you build up too much pressure it can burst out of the crimped edge if it accidently cuts into it. ask me how i know :D

It really is! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Fun fact, Guerra Pigment just released a water soluble Prussian blue.
Great tutorial and explanation of why and how to mix up cheat colors.
Happy to hear you found the video helpful!

OoOoh 😮 Haha, a different way to make a mess! Finesse is definitely warranted when tubing right?!? 😅
This is just propaganda from the color industrial complex trying to sell more colors!
Haha, well there ya go!
