@JANUSZCZAK This sounds like a false economy, but I found the paints with 100%pigment load (which are even more expensive) went allot further when mixed. I painted an entire show with a handfull of old Holland tubes as the pigments were so much stronger. Still a big initial outlay though
An old artwork of mine has reappeared!

Followed this story from earlier, wonder if I preferred the covered version, still very interesting to see some "new" Vermeer painting
First full image of ‘new’ Vermeer with uncovered Cupid released by Dresden museum: https://t.co/J8zZBsgmxW
It is intriguing to see! Getting used to seeing the revealed image, interestingly I find it hard to "un-see" this painting now, and remember as before. Really interesting.
I like this version as well
@GrimArtGroup This is one of my paintings! Painted it in 2016. It was exhibited in Paris " DISPLACEMENT - Le Pavé d'Orsay" https://t.co/DnvwTNbmGR Also featured on the cover of the KentishTowner December issue of that year @kentishtowner https://t.co/ajVx0lJJHF
@kitkant@GrimArtGroup This was really interesting! I'm glad you like my painting! You can see the perspective on the painting is very differnt to the photograph
@kitkant@GrimArtGroup You can see the spacing, scale and perspective are different in the transition, to the painting that's because elements where moved and shifted when I painted the final composition, I used several differnt sources, using drawings and photographs gained from different perspectives
