Meka Leka hi
Wwwwowwwww, beautiful, thanks for explaining the technique. Id love to get together and paint with you sometime. You are doing things I haven't tried yet.When I was a kid I used Windsor Newton or Grumbacher, but when I got to art school my first year watercolor teacher had us use Dr. Martins and I was hooked! because of the super intense colors. Now that they make them a little more light fast they're better. I also like Old Holland because of the intense colors.When my mom passed away I got a lifetime supply of art supplies, so I have piles of all the fancy papers to paint on and lots of hot-press rag board (I like the super smooth surface)
If its OK Id like to be able to ask you some more questions about painting techniques. When I get back to painting in about a month. I'm not technically proficient, but I have endless imagination. You have both! I'm working like mad on my house to get ready for the Tiki art three weekend. After all the excitement is over i can get back to painting. Thanks for sharing dawn
