Because I ground my own paints, this was doubly annoying. I had no idea of who did it until I tubed up a light sensitive carmine, a tube of asphaltum and some Paris green.<br /><br />A month or so later, at a student exhibit, the culprit was outed by the pink fading to grey, the asphaltum underpainting beginning to eat through the overpaint and the green developing black rings around it where it contacted modern inorganics.<br /><br />Great fun in art school.Rob Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587811799010051018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-85346254476415577132013-02-22T01:59:45.092-05:002013-02-22T01:59:45.092-05:00this looks like loads of fun!this looks like loads of fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-65860617061130640212013-02-21T19:29:08.370-05:002013-02-21T19:29:08.370-05:00Currant jelly!

Same results...one of us would get the other in the face or with a very big mark and blood would boil in the other resulting in an escalation of red & blue marks on our arms, shirts, & faces.DPetersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313044038296524139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-86051861474216584282013-02-21T12:50:26.298-05:002013-02-21T12:50:26.298-05:00At least they weren't using poisonous pigments...At least they weren't using poisonous pigments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029619660070707442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-23328887070930388342013-02-21T12:44:20.873-05:002013-02-21T12:44:20.873-05:00I used to paint murals with a friend, and we'd...I used to paint murals with a friend, and we'd often have paintbrush fencing bouts.

However, it is a shame that the bullying of "Bishop" may be seen as a time-honored tradition.
