Yes the PY 184 is an interesting lemon yellow. Very transparent - no coverage but good for glazing. I have it in the Spanish brand Goya. I have the PR170 too but haven't used it in a painting yet, but it looks promising from your video.
Lefranc Bourgeois was founded in 1720 and used to be a good brand. I've never used their oils, but I used acrylics in the 1980s. I don't know if they still have the same quality, as many brands have changed hands over time.🤔
@@magnificent1-y8l Yes, it would be interesting to know if they share the same formula or are in fact different products. But the only Winsor & Newton colour I use is Cobalt Turquoise, so I won't waste time and money trying to find out. I already have too many colours. 🙄
Michael Harding uses PR170 under the guise of Scarlet Lake. He's recently brought out a new red called Rose Dore - but somehow, he's managed to mix two pigments together to create another midtone red that looks exactly the same as the others in his range. I love Michael, but I think he's starting to go slightly mad.
Yes, Michael is coming out with a lot of new formulations. It might look exactly the same in mass tone but will mix and behave differently than the other reds in his range. But in general, I like his paint a lot.
@@pjjmsn Yeah, that's valid a point. Indian Yellow (my favourite pigment of all time) looks almost identical to yellow lake deep, but they both go in entirely different ways. If I'm honest, I'm holding out hope that Michael releases Potters Pink into the oil range. As a still-life painter, that pigment would be like gold to me. I'd most like design a pallete around it.
@@mrsnrub9780 I absolutely love Indian Yellow too. It almost develops a slight green tint when you mix it with white. I also love yellow lake deep (PY139) too. I think Michael in the only one who makes it in oil. When ever I try to use it, it always seems to work and it looks good in proximity to Indian Yellow. I'm surprised other companies don't make it. I bet potters pink would go well with Indian Yellow too.
Hello great stuff. Can you review Mont Marte Oil Paint? or if you have any insights on it. It's so hard to get cheap oil paint here in the Philippines. Most of the "cheap" still costs a lot. I am now trying Mont Marte Oil Paint because it's relatively cheaper than other brands haha.
@@CallyKariShokka Also If you want a healthy paint thinner/brush cleaner that's not orderless mineral spirt or turpentine, Try Chelsea lavender spike oil/brush cleaner or citrus brush cleaner

@@pjjmsn Sometimes I use it to replace cadmium lemon when I need more transparency.
@@lophoflora PY3 is good for that too. I haven't figured out which one I like more.
@@pjjmsn Yes, but PY3 has lower lightfastness. Especially in tints.
@@lophoflora I wasn't aware of that. I have seen it used in many mixed pigment paints from many different companies. Good to know.

In the 2000s, L&B used poppy oils for their extra fine oil paints. But now, they use linseed oil and safflower oil, also like Winsor&Newton.

Can you try these water mixable oils
Winsor and newton artisan
Cobra
Cobra study
Holbein aqua duo
Daniel smith
I've honestly been avoiding them because I feel like... Water + Oil just seems like a bad idea, but I'll give them a try, sure!
@@CallyKariShokka
Also
If you want a healthy paint thinner/brush cleaner that's not orderless mineral spirt or turpentine,
Try
Chelsea lavender spike oil/brush cleaner or citrus brush cleaner
Is Rose madder the colour you were trying to think of?
YES, thank you. My brain just... Malfunctioned.
@@CallyKariShokka you wouldn’t be an artist if you didn’t malfunction often. 😂
Napthol red? Le franc looks like alot of pigment put in.
GARBAGE NOISES!
Jokes aside that'd be a sick name for a metal band.
Garbage was a great 90s band. They put out three CDs that I know of.
