@Caffosaurus☕🍁:mayo: now you in trouble.

1. they do half pans, but most colours are in full pans - which take up a lot of room.

2. the paper sticks to the top of the paint when you unwrap them, you have to put them in the freezer for 10-15mins and then out in the room for 5 min before unpeeling.

2a. newly frozen paint doesn't rewet very well - duh.

3. some of them are sticky, some of them are hard to rewet - but I think that's true of everyone

4. is it well priced compared to BigChoobs?  Because it is here, Jacksons.

5. oh dear 

 They aren't cheap, but not obscenely expensive either. 

They also have lots of papers....  oh, dear. 

 @Caffosaurus☕🍁:mayo: Jackson's have RS on a slight discount but the full price for a full pan of Cobalt Blue PB28 (one of the more expensive pigments by everyone) is £8.30, same size by W&N is £15.75.  This is why RS is so popular - but they have not yet moved into tubes.  I'm happy for the pans, so it suits me.

Papers you say.... Saunders Waterford High White NOT 300gsm for less than a kidney? 

 They only have the High White in stock right now in 22 X  30 sheets. And it's over $10 a sheet. Which is less than a kidney, but more than the Fabrianos that I picked up at 5 for about $22. And that I still have four full sheets of.

I don't *need* any more paper. Or paints for that matter. Which does not mean that I'm not tempted... 

 @Caffosaurus☕🍁:mayo: I looked at their paper, I wouldn't bother.  The RS is worth considering, but only after you've checked the postage on getting it from Jacksons.  It looks WAY expensive compared to what we are paying.  I think they might be shipping it from Poland with the pans in their own passenger seats. 

 Well, they probably pay taxes and duties when importing them so that would be reflected in the price. 

 @Caffosaurus☕🍁:mayo: well I've checked the price of the cobalt blue $15 - which is £8.35, so same as here roughly.  which doesn't explain why W&N want £13 for theirs! 

 I have no idea. The pricing of these things doesn't make sense to me either.
