Frankly, everything Maimeriblu makes is top notch. None of the colors are blatantly fugitive as with Holbein. They are all buttery and easy to handle and quite brilliant. Given the quality, the pricing is down right amazing. The one factor that may be problematic (or wonderful------depending) is that several colors use a lot of oxgall, which makes the paint agressively spread wet in wet. No hard edges though. |

I've always loved burnt sienna, and recently after reading here of mixing Winsor violet and raw sienna for burnt, I've been experimenting with that. I've never incorporated that color into anything but accents anyway. |

Rarely...we generally mix our own browns from other colors. However, burnt sienna is essential. |

Kimarielle do you use raw umber in your palette for your botanicals? |

I think their Indian Yellow is in a class of it's own. I couldn't live without it. Their Blue Green is also very nice... |

I have seven of their paints and particularly like Orange Lake, Permanent Green Deep, Primary Red, and Permanent Yellow Lemon. I've been thinking of trying their Naples Yellow Reddish and Venetian Red. |

I'm a fan of their sap green. I also use their primary yellow...it is PY97, a cool yellow that is transparent. I haven't tried any of their other colors, but I'd love the input from others who have. I know that many here have sung the praises of the Maimeriblu Indian Yellow as one of a kind. I know that Robert is especially fond of it for sunset skies as it contains no green at all. I'll be waiting to hear what others have to say about all the Maimeriblu colors. |
