The forum is eerily quiet without your input, Robert. We think about your progress each time we use this forum. If you are able please do write.

Robert...so deeply sorry to read this. I pray for physical and spiritual healing during your current "life trials". I lost my first wife to brain cancer and have much empathy for those going through this.

Robert,

Know that there are many of us, with names you know and don't know, with whom you've shared so generously, who are routing for you to get well and back home soon.

To our dearest friend Robert,

You have many blank sheets of paper waiting for your brush. Too many discussions needing your sage advice. Too many opinions that need to be
heard. I for one will look forward to all of these!! Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Safe journey my friend.

Robert,
I had a deep feeling of sadness when I read your post. I felt as a
dear friend was having a difficult time and there was little one
could do to help. Please know my thoughts are with you and add
me to the list of people have appreciated and benefitted from all
your knowledge and your willingness to share it.
Please keep us posted on your progress. You may be going away
but you "won't be forgotten!"

Although I have known you just a few emails ago, Robert, you have warmth in the responses you give about paints, techniques and so on. Just remember that part of the healing is in your positive thinking, so we would wish to hear from you again and let us know of your progess at the hospital.

I like prismacolor raw sienna, bt, sienna for portrait and figure work becasue they are very close to flesh tone. Their ultramarine blue has always been my favorite. I love Maimeriblu and use it mostly. I use some Daler-Rowney. No surprise in any of this since I've said this repeatedly. Besides, who cares what I like? I am just dust in the wind. This will be my last post as I am traveling to a major cancer center for treatment and have poor prospects. All the best.

Robert, Is prismacolor your favorite brand now?
I thought it was MaimeriBlu.

You are welcome; I have found that I cannot do without the following Prismacolor / Grumbnacher Finest *
versions for portrait and figure work:
Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Cerulean, Ultramarine (not French Ultra). Also their Thalo Blue and Green are the best made, the most brilliant and concentrated out there--well, except for the M. Graham pthalos which are about the same, but then Mr. Graham was the genius behind Grumbacher Finest before he started his own company!

*to any reader--do not mistake grumbacher Finest and Grumbacher Academy--totally different. Grumbacher Finest has morphed into Prismacolor.

Yes, to a point. Prismacolor added a couple of new colors such as Prismacolor yellow, and some of the names have changed, but all the prismacolor I have bought is identical to the Grumbacher Finest counterpart--identical.

Are Prismacolor watercolor paints the same colors and
formulations as the Grumbacher Finest brand?
