Your casein examples have inspired me to try it and also some water-soluble oils(Cobra)(Cannot let go of water entirely, it would be a shock) Are there any good instructional videos for handling either medium, from scratch? I have found snippets on Youtube but I'm looking for something more substantial as an instructional video, or even a book would work. I have watched you paint Turk and the donkeys several times now and love the way you cut the shapes out with the flat brush.benedict1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17987873464187634970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-46762085961236717362014-04-08T17:17:56.587-04:002014-04-08T17:17:56.587-04:00Babangada, I'm using a Moleskine watercolor bo...Babangada, I'm using a Moleskine watercolor book.

When all you ever see are artists' successes, you can get the idea that to produce abortive efforts is not to be an artist at all. Have to say, though, no one is ever going to see my failures!Curious Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521390293410406711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-51293018038690825102014-04-08T11:44:06.647-04:002014-04-08T11:44:06.647-04:00Leslie, yes, you guessed it.

Ma...Leslie, yes, you guessed it. I love that word.<br /><br />Matt, I usually use a wet cotton rag and gently dab it until the paper's pretty wet and the pigment is loosened up. Then I wipe it once or twice to remove any loose pigment. Not too much scrubbing, though or the paper will start to break own. Some dye-based colorants won't come out no matter what you do.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-51688900714189183992014-04-08T11:22:20.756-04:002014-04-08T11:22:20.756-04:00James what did you use to scrub the paper with not...James what did you use to scrub the paper with not to damage it? a sponge?
