FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What paints do you use?
I use 'Old Holland' oil paints. These have a very high percentage of pigments. This
makes them ideal for wet-into-wet painting, as opaque paints are as opaque as they get.
Paints behave as you expect, ie. paint in red somewhere, and the spot actually
becomes red, and doesn't dissolve into the paint that is already there. Also, when mixing
the paints, they behave more closely to what they should theoretically (ie. like in the
color circle). As opposed to less pigmented paints, which get dull (desaturated) easily
when mixed. The high concentration of pigments also allows me to use more medium when
I want to.
