"I love the moistness of the paint, the clairity of hue (rich color of the pigment), the beautiful granulation of colors such as cerulean blue, ultramarine blue,manganese violet, cobalt green, cobalt violet and so on that help provide texture for my landscape painting. I'm sure that is because of the stone ground method" S.Q, US
