see how you like them. you'll likely burn those colors 1st anyway.

ftr, i never did find a red i liked. they were all cadmium, and i hate it. i learned how to mix and get pretty much what i wanted, but never on the head. could never get a light red, as opposed to a pink.
i also used pastel over them sometimes. you can get rly high chroma, and completely block the paper if you want. used black ink outlines to start.
