Comments on: Making Oil Paint http://www.hudsonvalleypainter.com/2009/01/14/making-oil-paint/ Hudson River Valley artist and painter Jamie Grossman posts her daily paintings and musings.

RGH Paints also sells pigments online. A Google search will turn up their site for you. That being said, it really is better to purchase machine-mulled paint if you can find what you're looking for. It takes a lot of hand mulling to surround those pigment particles with oil as much as they should be. Although I did make some batches of ultramarine, over time I'm coming to the conclusion that purchasing very high grade paint gives me a better product.

It is a sealed, primed masonite support. Kellie, no, I've thought about making pigments like that, but then I start to think that some things are better left to the experts!

I was wondering if you have ever tried anything like that or knew anything about it? Very informative article. Thanks, Kellie.
