| These are the supplies
I ordered from Zecchi in Florance to paint a fresco, zecchifi@tin.it these are
2003 prices. 2004 prices are still cheaper including shipping then the
mainland suppliers. Hi Massimo, Look over my changes and additions and send it here. Thanks for all your work. Our purchase transaction and the mural in progress are here. http://www.realcolorwheel.com/fresco.htm This is what I need, starting from scratch. 1Euro = $1.16 Order #1 11X 100 gr. Terre polvere gr. 1 - Natural earths, (1) S785 100gr. Bianco DiZinco E2.07. Some have said it is good to add a little zinc white to the clear lime paste so when the lime paste dries white there won't be as big a difference from when the paint was wet. I say that's old news, titanium white works better. (2) 0784 100gr. Yellow Ocher E2.07 (3) 0782 100gr Italian Warm Ocher E 2.07 (4)0813 100 gr. Terra di Siena Bruciata.

I think I got Thalo red from them also, but I put it in a jar without a label on it so I can't be sure. It isn't in their catalog, nor Zecchi's catalog, but they are the only two I purchased from. Sometimes you have to ask. Thalo red is such an important color to me, looking back on my past tests, I see it is not marked with a D.S., that means I got it from Zecchi. I'll email them today, 3-28-4. 7-13-4 Still no answer. 3-20-05 Never did get an answer. 3 Primary Dry Pigments; Indian yellow PY153 from Zecchi, Magenta PR122 from Sennelier, Cyan PB15.3 from Senopia.
