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 . . .

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)
