After several orders from RGH, I downgraded my rating to Quality: B (from A-). I modified my initial rating on my Oil Brand Reference but neglected to update the review. The reason for the downgrade is the cheap jars RGH uses for some of their colors. Their jars render the fast-drying colors, like the all-important lead white, useless because the colors dry too fast. I lost half of a 250 ml jar even after spraying the paint with water. I will not buy any more lead white from RGH until they use tubes for all colors and sizes.
for someone who knows alot about art , you should know you can’t keep the paint in those jars, you have to buy tubes so you can tube it yourself. when i buy from them i buy tubes to tube it myself so the paint stays fresh. i buy the tubes seperate, he should sell tubes also so people wont go through the trouble.
You might be right. I do like their paint and their prices are good. I ordered another jar and this time I covered the unused paint with water, just adding enough water to cover the paint. This kept the paint fresh. I used the last of the paint yesterday. I didn’t lose any due to skinning or drying. The water doesn’t affect the ol paint and evaporates rapidly on the palette. .
