Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:08:29 +0000 http://danidraws.com/?p=914#comment-70111 I would LOVE to share with you: Caran D'Ache <a href="http://www.greatart.co.uk/CARAND%20ACHEGOUACHESTUDIOSETS-gouache-paints.htm" rel="nofollow">cake gouache!</a> (sorry about the vendor link, the link to the Caran D'Ache page is wonky) It's the most premium and convenient gouache I've ever seen. Water-based, super-pigmented color, highly opaque, stretches/thins well, in convenient dry cakes... comes with a wet tube of white for mixing. I learned of this on the artist's retreat I attended at Cavallo Point, San Francisco (I won from your contest last year!) Just passing along a good thing. Thanks Dani!

Unfortunatly here in Brazil is difficult or expensive to buy some of this material, but sometimes I could spend some money with good material. Some good and great illustrations here used this kind the material, for me it isn't normal to get it, but when I could work only with Illustration I'll probably give the same kind of material...I hope in a close future! hehe Thx a lot to share your experience!

Makes me wish I had room to do traditional media in my tiny apt. I miss oils so much. Not only is the Turpenoid Natural have less odor, but its SO much better for your brushes. Turpentine/mineral spirits really dry out your brushes and makes them brittle. Love the list! Makes me wish I had room to do traditional media in my tiny apt. I miss oils so much.

I found it encouraging. I began a "teaching" blog nearly a year ago, and sometimes I wonder why I do it. Thanks for the reminder. And thanks for your blog! I enjoy it very much. -Bob Dani -
