Alternative to W&N paints?

[Marcus Lim]

Hi,
Garth's analysis of Raw Umbers from different brands in this thread lead me thinking about other brands of colors. Over here in Singapore, i'm only exposed to brands like ol' Winsor, and other premium ones like Van Gogh and Rembrandt.

I thought of changing to a better brand of paints, which is not as thin / viscous as Van Gogh or Rembrandt colors...colors which can be applied thickly easily like W&N, but richer in colors. Does anyone have good recommendations?

Thanks for sharing!
