Sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong place, but I didn’t see another place for questions.
After buying luscious, lovely, but pricy Daniel Smith paints, I was lured by the quantity of paint in the Lukas Aquarell 1862 brand. To try it out, I bought a couple of greens I needed to round out my palette, and a tube of Opaque White (1007).
Well, the Lukas Chromium Oxide Green is lovely. A wonderful mixing green.
But the Opaque White dried like chalk and fell out of the pan in chunks. I rewetted it a lot and really tamped it down in the pan, but it looks like I might have to keep a moist constantly or cover the pan in order to keep it there.
What is your experience? Is this just one bad tube? Are all Opaque Whites like this? Should I look to other brands? Or switch to a guache for white?
