Lovely Alizarin, what are you using for a replacement?

Richard, what I want to know is, do you have all that data in reference materials at the ready, or is it, instead, sitting in the recesses of your brain, ready and waiting to fall off your fingers onto your computer at any moment?

Sharon, I have to confess my palette is largely earth colors, and my use of high chroma color is limited. Consequently, I may not require the same things of a "good" alizarine that you do. We'd have to compare notes in the studio for that. Doak's pyrol ruby is high quality, with a good pigment load, and tints "clean" . . . so it satisfies my minimal need for a high-chroma deep "red".

Cindy, a little of both. You'd be surprised how much info is at your fingertips printed right on paint labels!

I don't have a current price list from Doak. The one I have is over a year old, so if late developments have driven up the price on those pigments, he may be "up" too.

SP is still available to buy from online . . . only the forum has become a subscription proposition. No worries if you call to order on the phone, I don't think Rob filled orders anyway, unless you asked specifically for him . . .

[Richard Bingham]

The last price list I have from Doak lists pyrol ruby red at $35 for the small tube. His phone numbers are:
718-237-1210 and 718-237-0146

. . . ! no hay de que! (es un placer)
