Massive thanks for the demonstration. I can't find any reviews or comments about WN flake white hue, so thanks for the comparison. Any other comments about WN flake white hue's handling would be much appreciated.

No problem, glad it's helpful for you. It's hard to put into words, but I would describe the WN flake white hue as "medium" in terms of stiffness. Not quite as soft as M Graham, not as stiff as Williamsburg or Old Holland (the latter I admit I haven't personally used). Gamblin's flake white replacement is made from linseed oil and is noticably stiffer, but it is notorious for discoloring quickly into a tan, almost Naples yellow color very quickly. Check out Walcott Art's video on whites and you'll see what I mean. I'll probably just throw mine out. Anyway, hope that helps!

I tried the WN flake white hue, and as far as I could tell their attempt at making it more transparent like lead white was just adding way more linseed oil, I usually use a vertical glass pallet so it just slid down

Interesting. Mine was about the consistency of other W&N colors. Definitely not runny. Do you think yours was separated in the tube more than normal?

@@zbthunderwood not sure I just assumed it was meant to have a high oil content to be more transparent

Thank you sir, very useful information. If I may, lighting could use some improvement but none the less, thank you for taking the time.

Yes, the lighting could definitely be improved. Thanks for watching!

BTW, Wallcot's video is good too but he doesn't talk about Cremnitz White and you did! 🙂

Back in Cuba, I did a lot of zinc white my self, because you know is a communism and things are just not available so we have to do our own white with zinc oxide and linasa oil, just mixing it, and the one I use to do, it has the same consistency that that permalba white, so I would assume that permalba is done with poor quality lol or maybe is because the zinc, maybe is it has a lot of zinc in it is probably what it is Thanks for the demostration
