<DIV>The time has come, I guess, for me to clear some of my taboret, and before
I begin on this odious project, I figured I might ask you guys if you have
'favourites' in paint brands.<BR><BR>I know a lot of people are with Winsor
& Newton because they started with them, or their student brand
Cotman. I started with Grumbacher and am still partial to some of their
paints.<BR><BR>But there are so many companies and some of them I've never
tried, or not tried in so long my knowledge is not current, and I'm curious --
me, I like different colours in different brands, but if I had to stick with
one, it would probably be Graham or Smith, although I'm really fond of <BR>some
Holbein hues, and then there's the Talens.................. but that might be
tainted, as they asked me to 'test' paints for a bit.<BR><BR>Input here
please? Just opinions, is all, something for me to chew over before I
decide what I ditch and what I keep?<BR><BR>pat chapin<BR><A
