Hi Albert, thanks for the reply. Yes, I have heard about Grumbacher and Old Holland (Grumbacher's seem to be a popular brand with artists in the forum). Never seen Grummy around here in Singapore before though.
Now Utrecht seems to be another name I came across, but I thought they are jz a brand for brushes...I didn't realize they sell colors too
So have you compared the brands you use, with W&N before? I'd love to hear how you feel about your colors.
