I was told the SAA watercolours were made by someone who used to work for Rowney. Perhaps we'll eventually find out. I owe you an e-mail and will be replying soon.

I had occasion to rumage through my "Red" box today for Indian Red. There were 2 tubes of PR101 which date back 15 years. The Holbein had dried to the point of being very difficult to force from the tube but the Rowney was as fresh and liquid as the day I bought it.<br />Have you ascertained whether Bromley's generic watercolours are, in fact, Rowney?<br />The new James Russell book on Seago has just been published. A supurb publication with over 200 illustrations and never before published photographs. Most of Seago's paintings contained therin are oils but this publication is a nice addition to sit on the bookshelf between the 2 Ron Ransons"s and Jean Goodman's biography.<br />Cheers<br />JohnJohn Softlynoreply@blogger.com
