The inner two columns are Vasari, outer two are homemade paint. It needs to be mulled to bring out the subtle blue in tints (like a Nicosia green earth), but even without that I find it lovely. Vasari’s version is just too weak and too expensive;  I’m sticking with Earth Pigments homemade. In thin paint, I’d probably prefer to paint with it just for the feeling. Earth Pigments no longer carries this color, so it’s nice to know it can be bought tubed, even if it’s expensive, but I’ll make my own as long as I can. As a mixer, it seems to make light colors more evocative and dark colors more realistic. Vasari Burnt Umber is the deepest, richest burnt umber I’ve ever used – and is now the only burnt umber I use.

I would definitely say that Vasari is quite superior to tube paint I have from Gamblin and Winsor Newton, which hold brushstrokes well (almost too aggressively) but have the slight waxy feel of additives. Where are those apprentices when you need them?!! Tubed paint requires stabilizers to avoid separation, and even high end ones usually have a small amount. My own version has a better pigment load and handles better than Vasari’s, which feels just slightly greasy to me and wipes off with the slightest touch. Perhaps that might be a poor artist’s compromise to get close to Cadillac paint without a lot of the work of making paint by hand.
