There's always Scale 75 , I have both the White and Blue sets and can recommend them, but as Nap says, AK will surely add to the range.

Doesn't anybody mix their own stuff any more ?

Despite using sets like this I still mix them to get the shade or tone that i want, as I'm sure many people do.

thanks Kev, everytime i see a manufacturer getting new sets of colors i am tempted to try them out.
i have the Andrea white set and was a bit disapointed since i end up adding some other colors to make a little bit of contrast between lights and shadows.

I know where you are coming from....
my problem is finding a proper old fashioned post box or ketchup red to mix into.
so many colours out now have pink tones it's unreal.

The trouble is if you buy a few colours and mix you miss out on nice boxes!!! Seriously you are so right...

I never liked the AK Interactive paints. They are far too thin out of the bottle for my taste. Coverage is poor and the paint is glossy if not sufficiently stirred. I noticed that some of the names on the bottle don't match the names on the box. AK makes many mistakes like that. It tells me something about them.

The three primaries (Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Cobalt Blue) + two absolutely 'can't do withouts' (Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber)
+ The two Neutrals (Titanium White, Paynes Grey) will get you anywhere you need to go - but never mind me ... I'm just a living fossil.

Each to there own, what works for you, may not work for others.
I'm a firm believer in, its it works for you stick with it.
Personally I work in oils, and always mix my colours, and use acrylic for a base coat, and mix those too.
But I would never knock those that don't.

....merely thinking of the cost, old chap. What poor penniless figure painters save on unnecessary paint they can spend on more figures

... Spend on other figures that will never be painted, and after a few years will be offered for sale.

color sets have a function that goes well beyond the colors of having ready. color sets can I use them to children who follow and learn to make the mess more easily, if they want to continue to learn not to use them more

 

[jai]

I still understand your concept and is sharable

Hi
The success or failure.... with the paint set will depend on the
ability of the painter ...the same for the colour mixer

I think the colour sets offer a shortcut no more than that
