JAN's TOOLS This is in no way meant as a supply list you must buy. These are just what Jan uses. After you watch a few videos and decide you want to try everything - then here is the list of what she uses. PAINT CHROMACOLOUR is the brand of acrylics that I use. They are suspended in a resin rather than polymer (plastic). They have all the same properties of being water based when wet and permanent when they dry - however they have a much more velvety appearance in my opinion - more like a gouache. They are made in England. There was a split up of the company, and for the last year I decided not to use them, because there was a problem getting them. I started using Golden's but discovered I was literally struggling to try to get the same look; the colors were all wrong, and it was extremely frustrating. Things settled down at Chromacolour, and they now have a new owner. I am VERY happy to be able to use them again. These are highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. These sets are what they call "pots" (liquid) 50 ml. We will be carrying my full palette, so that you can buy directly from us and not have to order from England. We will only have a small amount at first but hope to work up to more as we go along. THE PRICE IS $160 plus shipping FULL PALETTE Burnt Umber Burnt Sienna Payne's Gray Ultramarine Blue Creulean Blue Pthalo Blue Pthalo Green Hookers Green Hue Chromium Green Oxide Linden Charteuse Alizaran Crimson Magenta Md. Chroma Orange Cad Red Med Cad Yellow Md Naples yellow Naples yellow Dioxazine Purple Raw Sienna ************************** White Paint - You notice this is not included in Jan's Full Palette. While Chromacolour does make a nice white, I use a lot - so I use LIQUETEX PROFESSIONAL GESSO (jar)
