Judy and Keith
I use a egg-dichromate system printed on a plastic substrate, so my results
maybe different to yours. Most of the time I work with acrylic paint Binney
and Smiths acrylic artists concentrated colours in small bottles, however
sometimes I prefer a powder paint then I use Corneilsons powder colours
which are very pure and the same time cheap. Incidentally they also sell
mars, yellow ,violet and red ochre. Colours I often use for Mediterranean
