| I know what you mean Marty. I have recently bought a few pots of Pigment just to have a play with but at the end of the day they were expensive and they are basically no more than the old powder paint we all used at school when we were kids.
In fact I made caulking for my boat with Resin 'W' mixed with black powder paint from an art shop and I got a huge tube of the stuff which cost me a couple of quid and will last me a lifetime.
I do like dipping my feet into new things and if you can keep your feet firmly on the ground and use them in conjunction with the old imagination and the scrap box then you have the best of both worlds. I have to admit that if I was to buy a set of powder paints to mix up my own pigments I would A) Make such a god awfull mess that I would be cleaning up for days and B) Have enough pigments to paint the side of a house.
So yes I paid over the odds for the few pots I bought but I still consider them a usefull buy for my own rate of use.
