In short. bauman says in one of his film which i wont trace right now to give as evidance, he was speak about the A crimson as non color and recommend to avoid it. my comment was "shit, i just bought a 60ml tube yesterday" so he answerd to return it
I rally trying to catch the expensive thing. how much is expensive? and how much they mean to save.
Thanks. Well, I have used alizarin crimson for many years. It is very useful for glazes over yellow and ochre, and definitely not a non-colour. Perhaps he meant something else.

Manipulation doesnt works on me
. If i will pass by, i will post it.
I have never compared how many panels I could prime with one as opposed the other, but the Windsor & Newton alkyd primer was nearly 40.00 US dollars at the art store, whereas I could get the same amount of an alternative by volume for maybe $10.00 or $12.00 at the hardware store.
Isn't "real" Aliz Crimson a fugitive color? I'd be surprised to find the real smashed-up-bugs kind of it anywhere today.
Yes, it is supposed to be, but the synthetic version seems to be much safer to use formulated in oil paint. I have never experienced any problems with it.
Definitely. I use the spray outside. But thanks. And I use the alkyd primer outside too because it contains (probably mineral spirits) solvent. And then there's the brush cleaning with solvents...
I have found it very strong compare to the magenta. im not saying im not or wont use it. if it will be my need for sure i will.
Im speaking about the gesso primeir. at my place i wont save nothing by buying gesso, canvas and frame. its even will cost me more. not talking about panels which are not poplar here and if i would go to buy some panels they would cost me more than strech canvas.
Hermes - I don't have the reference but I remember him saying don't use crimson, and (maybe) alizarin. I think Lazarus is right (if I remember) he mumbled something about them not being paint - but he says this stuff an aside and did elaborate on what he meant by that.
Oh, yes, in that case, I'm sure you're right. And you're a real artist, while I'm just a guy who plays with art materials on a small scale
It's probably more economical in every way for you to buy a pre-stretched and prepared canvas.
Yes, IMO, the panel should be sealed prior to grounding, on all sides and edges, especially if using MDF. MDF unsealed will take on moisture, swell and possibly cause the ground and any finish paint to lose adhesion, crack, wrinkle, etc. I would not use MDF. 3/16” thick Tempered hardboard is a better product for making your own panels cheaply. (Birch plywood is probably the best, but not so cheap). Hardboard should also be sealed on all surfaces.
We are all artists. we just aint aware we are. we all thinking creative GENeretive creatures. there is no real. there is just what art can be.
I was surprised that lead white is still sold, but I've seen it recently online at the site where I get my pigments.
