RGH has the best deal for the all-important flake white.  Their cremnitz white extra fine is $46.25 for a 250 ml jar.  By comparison, a 237 ml jar of Williamsburg’s flake white is $57.  Old Holland, which I don’t buy because of their lurid prices, costs $172 for 225 ml tube.  That’s after heavy<\/em> discounts.   <\/p>\n

The extra fine only comes with safflower binder, which would not be my preference.  Having said that, the paint handles very well.  I am completely satisfied with it.  For their  ‘normal’ flake white, you can order any binder you want (except poppy)–safflower, walnut, linseed, or cold-pressed linseed.  They are the only manufacturer that offers the artist a choice of binders, which makes the single binder for the ‘extra fine’ white puzzling.   <\/p>\n

I prefer oil paint in tubes but I found if I keep the jars double-bagged in plastic bags, the paint stays fresh.<\/p>\n
