No, I'm sorry, I don't have either of these, although I'm sure I've used them in the past. I go through lots of burnt sienna, also.

Have you ever used Rembrandt's Transparent Oxide Red? It's a lovely version of BS, but richer, a bit more red, and very transparent. A little pricey for me (I'm retired, living on cat food and a fixed income -- just kidding). It's around $9.50 a tube, but it's great stuff.

Also, I'm toying with the idea of trying Permalba's Alizarin Orange Permanent. However, I'm basing my idea of using it on a Permalba color chart that comes with their big tube of white, which I use regularly.

If you, or anyone, knows anything about the Permalba color, I'd like to hear about it. I love Rembrandt's TRO, but I go through it so fast.
