Or...not! Even the "sample" color of the Gamblin Naples Yellow looked mustardy in the Dick Blick web site. Although I know these are not true representations, I still thought "yuk"! The truth is, I rarely use a color right out of the tube anyway, I am always mixing up some concoction to find the color I want.
For me, mixing up the paint is part of the fun of being an artist. Stems from my childhood I guess. I still remember mixing up a white frosting and adding blue food coloring a drop at a time an then running the mixer and saying...ooooooH! My mother came in and saw dark blue frosting and thought it was a disgusting looking cake....but yummy tasting!
My main concern is the health factor, and Gamblin has the corner on that. I've been pretty good at being able to repeat paint mix recipies, but Karin's post on how to "save paint" has really helped too.
