        I recently discovered the joys of the color manganese blue but had thought the “real” manganese blue (PB-33) granulation and all was no longer made. However according to the Dick blick website, Old Holland PB33 Manganese blue is due in stock on 7/21.

        Thanks.

            Ooooo I hope they’ve got that right, I had assumed I’d never get the chance to try it unless it turned up as part of a deseased estate bulk buy on eBay!

            And right in time for my birthday too!

            Thanks for posting this.

                from handprint: … I don’t feel the pricey, dingy Old Holland product is worth using.

                I think I will pass on this blue for now.

                    Handprint isn’t doctrine. I’ve tried a couple brands of pb33 and I think OH is fine, better as a pan.

                        …yes but $10+ for 6ml is pricey IMOSHO

                            Apparently they didn’t get enough of it in. Next stocking will be 8/03. Berner, hope you were able to get a tube.

                            Failure is an opinion. Doing is not.
