Question 1

What are the colors (actual names) included?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

The box contains 20 tubes, 18 of them colors 20ml each and two larger tubes: titanium white and quick drying gloss medium 50 ml each. The majority of the colors are hues ( modern pigments are used to replace the cadmium red orange yellow green; the viridian the cobalt the ivory black the vermilion. the remaining few are with real pigment.) The names as requested are: Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red deep Hue, Vermilion Hue,Jaune Brillant (skin Tone-pink),Lemon Yellow,Yellow Ochre.Cadmium Yellow Light Hue,Viridian Hue,Cadmium Green Hue,Cadmium Green Light Hue,Cerulean Blue Hue,Ultramarine,Prussian Blue,Cobalt Blue Hue,Mauve,Burnt Umber,Burnt Sienna,Ivory Black Hue. I had the patience to paint two complete pictures.  After each painting day I had to wait 4-5 days the paint to dry in order to resume the painting process like regular oils. It was very taxing on the brushes designed for water mixable paints and on the end switched to bristle brushes.The only advantage is cleaning the brushes easily. The final product (finished picture) still looks somehow like oils. I have purchased the paints because I have to use 80% of the year air conditioning. If I had normal 4 seasons year I wouldn't consider water mixable oils. They don't allow for any spontaneous brushwork or using knife. The paint is not stiff enough. I hope I answered the question.

Question 2

Does anyone have experience bringing these on an airplane? Did they stay intact?

Accepted Answer

I have flown with these paints without any problems. However they were new unopened tubes

Question 3

What is the best medium to use with these to keep them ‘open’ longer?

Accepted Answer

I do not use anything except water.

Question 4

Is vermillion hue like a bright red ?

Accepted Answer

I compared genuine cadmium red and vermilion hue as I squeezed from the tubes. Vermilion hue is slightly orangey in comparison with cadmium red and other bright red. The genuine vermilion is beautiful color.
