It's true. I fell hard.
Oh PR 209! Where have you been all of my life. LOL. My decision not to buy any more paint until I swatched all my paints out went right out the window when I found this tube at a local art supply (Artist & Craftsman in Chestnut Hill).
I swatched it with :
Quin Gold PO 48, PY150, QoR
Cobalt Yellow PY 40 Daniel Smitih
Quin Rose PV 19 Daniel Smith
Permanent Red PR 170 Daniel Smith
Lemon Yellow PY 175 Daniel Smith
Rich Green Gold PY129 Daniel Smith
Phthalo Green PG 7
Cobalt Teal PG 50
Phthalo Blue GS PB15:3
Ultramarine Violet PV 15
Green Gold PY129 and Phthalo Green PG7 were two surprise fav mixes.

I'll be on vacation for the next week (!). We're driving north because we're crazy. Also people we love live in Massachusetts and Vermont. I'll be back a week from Thursday with another post and video. In the meantime ....
I placed my order at Dick Blick after sweating over it for a couple of weeks. Here is a sneak peek. These are Daniel Smith's Prima Tek colors, made from minerals so no P #'s. I was squealing as I swatched. Granulation, mica glitter. That first one is Piemonite. All of the separation and color shifting just ... happens. Swoon.

Those PrimaTek paints are amazing. Being a lover of all things green, the green appetite and the serpentine are way beyond amazing. I’m rather fond of the sodalite, too. There was a time when I was thinking about becoming a gemologist. Now I can just get the PrimaTek paints and satisfy my need to look at beautiful gem stones.

LOL! faux gemologist. The paints are beautiful. I like the greens the best! and the sodalite but my fav may be the piedomite. really surprising.

Enjoy your vacation, Diana!!! The coral looks wonderful, I hadn’t thought how many colors would blend with it! It’s like Type O negative of paints!
Have a great well-deserved break and I can’t wait to see you when you return!

I'm looking forward to a few days off! Type O neg paint :)

Those paints are certainly different than any I have ever seen.....they are so interesting looking.
Good for you...........take some time for yourself and have a ball! Will anxiously be awaiting your return. Be safe!

DS's prima tecs are gorgeous! I'm dying to buy their gigantic dot "card" ~ lol, hundreds of pigments ~ but I fear for my budget! In the meantime, I do think I need both those greens (serpentine & apatite). Thanks for posting.
