I’ve written several times about the oil paint manufacturer RGH.  No, I don’t have a relationship with them, it’s just that I use their product a lot.  Their flake white is my current go-to white.  They also sometimes send me free paint when I order from them, such as the jar of blue ochre on my palette in this photo. <\/p>\n

Because I recently purged the nice-to-have colors from my palette, when I found the jar of blue ochre in my last order, I didn’t think it would make it onto my palette.  But I tried it, and I like it so much I’m permanently adding it to my regular colors.  You can see a pile of it above the jar in the photo.  Blue ochre is a cool earthy-green and is an excellent replacement for green earth, which I haven’t used in years; it’s too yellow and too transparent.<\/p>\n
