It's oil based rather than alkyd based. See http://www.michaelharding.co.uk/colour-info.php?cID=76 With the Griffin Titanium white I'd usually need about three layers to get perfect coverage. With Michael Harding I can now usually paint everything in just one layer.<br /><br />Michael Harding cadmiums are very fast driers too and will usually dry overnight. Very opaque too.<br /><br />The only place in the UK that I've found that sell Da Vinci alkyds is Lawrence Art Supplies. I ordered some yesterday as they are 50% off at the moment. http://www.lawrence.co.uk/shop/DVP-Da-Vinci-Paint-Fast-Dry-Alkyd-Oil-Colours.html#.VFipa-bEAto<br /><br />I see that Jackson's Art Supplies now carry the Gamblin Fastmatte alkyds. I've never tried them but I may do if they ever have them on offer.Paul Corfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378086556958720132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-46655423816268765342014-11-04T07:46:36.475+00:002014-11-04T07:46:36.475+00:00Thanks Paul.

I didn't know Da Vinci made alkyds, and neither did I know Michael Harding made a fast-drying Tit.White so I've learnt something, thanks! That's something I must try, especially the white being more pigmented - sounds very promising. Thanks for the info indeed. Good luck with your ROI entries - we'll know soon...Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-91159281478999161952014-11-03T20:56:43.517+00:002014-11-03T20:56:43.517+00:00Thank you very much Pat!Thank you very much Pat!Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-71105718794444630752014-11-03T20:56:09.243+00:002014-11-03T20:56:09.243+00:00Thank you very much Vic!Thank you very much Vic!Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-19390812362669106522014-11-03T20:55:37.730+00:002014-11-03T20:55:37.730+00:00Thanks a lot Trevor!Thanks a lot Trevor!Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-46646377260980196762014-11-03T20:55:10.079+00:002014-11-03T20:55:10.079+00:00Thank you very much John and Barbara!Thank you very much John and Barbara!Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-15701708525897682502014-11-03T20:54:41.318+00:002014-11-03T20:54:41.318+00:00Thank you Sue!

How do you f...Good luck with the competition Peter. How do you find the Griffin Alkyds in recent years? I used to use them all the time in the past and then some of the colours started to be rebranded as hues so I looked elsewhere. As my Griffin paints run out I started replacing them with Da Vinci fast dry alkyds. Compared to my regular Michael Harding oils the Da Vinci alkyds are a very close comparison for pigment loading but that is reflected in the price I guess. Another thing I do is use Michael Harding fast dry titanium white. Compared to Griffin Titanium White the Michael Harding one is so much more pigmented. All Michael Harding paints are marked with the drying time and by sticking with colours labelled very fast or fast I can have a paint that dries as fast as my alkyds in most cases. At the most I may have to wait a few more hours but there's not much in it. Any of the colours that are average or slow driers I just buy in the Da Vinci alkyd range. <br /><br />Dropped my two ROI paintings off with the courier driver in the week. Fingers crossed for next Thursday. :-)Paul Corfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378086556958720132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-30062016853725024792014-10-31T18:52:22.224+00:002014-10-31T18:52:22.224+00:00All best wishes for a great success.
