Only yesterday I attached a review of Langridge paints on a YouTube video by Australian artist, Andrew Tischler. This include my review of the Cobalt Teal hue, manufactured by David Coles.
I have not yet used the Cobalt Teal in a painting but I am excited by its brilliance and lustre, and I shall no doubt use it in the near future for shadows on portraits and waves on seascapes.
Here is the review I sent to Andrew:
"At long last I have been able to source Langridge oil paints in the UK (for onward delivery to me here in Sweden). I took delivery of four tubes just last week: Transparent Yellow Oxide, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue and Cobalt Teal. I find the Yellow Oxide an excellent replacement for both Yellow Ochre and Raw Sienna since it is more transparent than either of those. (Transparent Red Oxide is another colour that effectively replaces Burnt Sienna) The Cobalt Blue, in particular, excites me. I have long had an aversion to this colour since my experience of it (mainly with acrylics and watercolours) has been underwhelmingly disappointing. I have found all those Cobalt Blues to be dull, lacking in vibrancy and with a greyish tinge. Langridge's Cobalt Blue is a true mid-range blue with no bias towards either yellow or red and it is positively alive! I absolutely love it. The Ultramarine (my favourite hue of blue) is also gorgeous. I bought the Cobalt Teal on your (Andrew's) recommendation and I have not regretted it. Langridge oil paints are up there with the best, and I include such excellent makes as Michael Harding, M. Graham, Williamsburg, Maimeri, Old Holland and Rembrandt in that assessment. Thank you, Andrew, for bringing the exquisite Langridge range to my attention, and thank you, David, for making such a wonderful product."
And thank you too, Supreme Paint Company, for allowing me access to such a special paint.
