A lot of the sets I see these days seem to come with zinc white as opposed to permanent white, and I'm not entirely sure of the difference between them, as both have the same opacity and permanence ratings on the colour charts.<br /><br />Thanks for your time.Napleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877128775226908577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-20976830723289461372014-04-27T09:04:37.386-04:002014-04-27T09:04:37.386-04:00I just love your watercolor figure sketches!
