In response to John, I agree that the majority of the Old Holland colours are the best ready made oils available but I have found that the yellow ochre, essential in creating flesh tone, is very green.

I have resorted to grinding my own which has produced a quality of colour far superior to anything manufactured. I buy the pigment from 'Zecchis' in Florence Italy and find that the result is well worth the effort. I would love to know how many others grind their own colours and how easily available pigments are?
