Will pure pigment do the jobs, or is there something special about 'tempera' 
pigment?  Studio Supply in Chapel Hill sells "Schmincke" pigments.  Jars 
about the size of a can of soda, filled with pure pigment, oh so pricey, but 
the burnt sienna truly is burnt sienna and the ultramarine really is 
ultramarines and a jar that size could probably be divided amongst all the 
scribes in Atlantia, and we'd still have to pass on the leftovers in our 
wills.

I suppose there may be other brands, but these I dream of.

Bonne
