I found two bags of pigments that I bought about twenty years ago. One is a raw sienna and the other is a yellow ochre very similar to Bob Ross's. Don't worry about the ochre permanence, iron oxide pigments are bulletproof. 😊
I personally have no use for that brand, or Permalba. I do know people who like it and use it, but I don’t like the texture. However, I don’t paint in the William Alexander/Bob Ross style, so perhaps it is necessary for that method. If I were going to purchase a paint readily available at most stores, in the student line, I’d rather get some economically priced 200 ml tubes of Winton. I have seen people do some really wonderful things with the Bob Ross brand, though. I have noticed that many times craft stores will put some student paints on sale, and many times, the store’s sale prices for basic student type paints is still higher than what one can get a better quality of paint for online at places like Jerry’s, etc. Before spending alot of money in stores for student paints, you may want to research a little, and see if you can upgrade for a comparable, or even lower price at an online store, ebay, etc. A very good, well made paint for an economical price is the Utrecht brand. They are made in the USA, formerly the Rhenish line (made in West Germany), and have a very good pigment load, and a lower viscosity. Very nice to work with. The cadmiums/cobalts are especially well priced.
It would be interesting if you could track down some vintage Bob Ross paints. I've heard much better things. If you haven't watched the Bob Ross doc on Netflix, it explains why his stuff has gone down in quality. It's very sad. 😞
I've seen vintage Bob Ross paints on ebay, but haven't picked up any. I assume before Golden Colors acquired it, the quality was different? Maybe I should try to get some...
@@CallyKariShokka I agree that leaving pigment information off the tubes is a strange decision. It looks decent enough but it makes you wonder what pigments are in there.

So, no 'happy accidents'? 😆
Any interest in selling off some of your oil paints?
Not at this time, but there's lots of people on ebay selling oil paint! And sites like Blick and Jerry's Artarama have sales once in a while!

@@CallyKariShokka it would be really cool to see!
@@CallyKariShokkaGolden Colors never acquired Bob Ross paints.
@@Lalupin464 It says... Right on the tube... Made by Golden Artist Colors?
@@CallyKariShokka they manufacture the paint for bob ross inc. They don’t actually own the company.
Is that paint vintage or are they making that currently?
Not vintage, it's available on art sites and even amazon now.
