I have to chuckle at Linda's reaction to the Winton paint. She's absolutely right - it's fairly lousy, and student-grade. I mean, freshman year art school student-grade. I concur again that your work deserves better.

The Winsor-Newton professional grade is a big step up, but it is not as good as it was 5 years ago. They seem to have changed the formula. I've been slowly converting out of these into Old Holland. Pricey, but way more pigment to vehicle in the mix ratio. Just to experiment, get a tube of Old Holland titanium white first, since it's not ridiculously expensive, and you'll see a massive difference in opacity, tinting strength and consistency.

Chris, Linda and Michele are dead on in their critiques of the piece, so I won't add anything for fear of redundancy. Be very grateful that this excellent trio have commented here; they are razor sharp in their insights - total pros. I know I'm grateful.

Lompoc? Is it really like how Rex Pickett descibes it?
