At Deserres art store, like I needed any more paint, they made me buy it with deep discounts. Actually, there were some 'liquidation' prices but still kind of pricey compared to Kama Pigments. I picked up 15 mL tubes of bismuth vanadate yellow (PY184), burnt red ochre (PR102) both from Daniel Smith, and some umber (PBr7) and yellow ochre (PY42) from Shin Han. I had a bit of birthday money to spend so it was fine at any price. I also noticed that all of the iridescent and duo-chrome paints from Daniel Smith were on liquidation... they probably were not too popular from the looks of it. I got one once, iridescent moonstone (the name was cool), but it was of limited usefulness, and the main attraction, the sparkle effect, did not scan or show well on the computer screen.
In the painting above, I used the four 'new' paints... in fact I have identical or similar versions before. The yellow ochre from Shin Han was very similar, just a half shade lighter perhaps, than the yellow ochre I have from DaVinci (I got a jumbo 37mL tube of that a few years ago). Bismuth vanadate yellow is the bright yellow, the rusty colour is burnt yellow ochre, the muddy brown is the umber, and the toasty yellow is the yellow ochre. These paints will really turn up the warmth on the palette.
