What I also bought from Bulgarian "Redclover Meadow" was "Sky Blue", which is PB71 Zirconium Vanadium Blue — a pigment I never tried before. I was quite impressed with the effect this paint has, added it to the palette too for now.

It is not necessarily what I expected, and it lacked this weirdness with large grains that Jarosite mixed by "Handy" had, but still I decided to add it to the palette for a while.

One unusual watercolour I was rather fond of were two pans of Jarosite (regular&light) by "Handy" in Saint Petersburg. While I myself could guess what the pigment they used, I decided to try out another paint maker, Bulgarian "Redclover Meadow" to see what Jarosite they have.

For me the longer the series went the more it drifted from watchability and science into soap drama, I gave up. This is perhaps even more exaggerated for me since I'm from Russia and thus some portrayal of Soviet stuff can look too cringe (unlike with e.g. Chornobyl which is 11/10 series to my eyes)
