I am a little late with this reply, but I just read the posts and can't resist chiming in. I was introduced to Vasari a few years ago and they are absolutely wonderful. I especially like the genuine naples yellow light. It is so much better then the pale washed out naples that so many brands have.
There is also a high oil content in most of their tubes, and Vasari suggests that you tap the tube, cap side down, on a hard surface a few times. This causes the heavier pigment to drop down toward the opening end of the tube and the oil to go to the other end, which helps the sustain the pigment.
Varsari mixes so well, and the colors are vibrant. It has become my favorite brand to use and is definitely worth trying if you haven't already.
