Allan, that sounds like fun! I'd say those gents are the Danish equivalent of Doak, Vasari and some others. I've found these craftsmen who are dedicated to their craft always seem to enjoy visiting with the people who use their paint, and like the opportunity to explain the extra pains they take in making it.

To my mind, this is the current state of materials supply for painters who are interested in quality, and knowing their materials. It's true that well-made paints can vary quite a bit in consistency, texture, and handling as is the nature of the pigments involved. It's also true that these essentially "hand made" paints of superlative quality are generally very reasonably priced, simply because their buyers aren't paying for massive advertising campaigns.
