Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Rosa, are you trying to get white watercolour or permanent white gouache?

I don't bother with white watercolour, too transparent most of the time and our local art shop don't stock it any more as nobody buys it!

But I do use watercolour more like oils most of the time, so each to his own! :D

 

will probably get that white gouache iff i can get it at my local art shop, do you use gouache for mixing your colours also.
I also use them like oil also a bit thicker but when i start with a background colour its quite watery, then i add colour a bit thicker say for the clouds.

 

Rosa, there are several stores here selling canvasses, including one of the big DIY chains. Painting is popular here so it's reasonably catered for.

Even in England I never bought expensive canvasses, and mine have survived just about every abuse that could be slung at them! Here, stretched canvasses start at 1,49, about �£1.

I can hear DAG cringing from here ...

 

I have a stack of canvases ready for oil painting some day, only buy them when I see them in cheap shops. But even the art shop has cheap ones now, so times are changing!

 

LoL your lucky then my local art shop is expensive not that i will be buying canvasses and a �£1 is ok.
dag will be cringing abusing your canvasses :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:

 

morning all, weather horrid, may go and get a paper and have a bet later, then consider what painting to get on with next.have a good day all whatever your plans this miserable saturday morning.

 

Morning, rosa, and those not in Wakey, wakey!

It's sunny and 14.4 already so it will be a nice day here, although we have rain forecast for the next seven days at least! I don't mind if it's at night and we have these beautiful mornings.

Have a good day all of you!

 

morning LoL, looks like the forecast is rain everywere, what i hate is these winds with it off the north sea, its really bad out there and looks like its going to be like this into next week, yak, just dont feel like going out in that, might do a painting, you have really started getting yours together nicely, well done.

 

Thanks, rosa, but I couldn't have done it without all the encouragement from here, that's for sure!

And I wouldn't have lost all this weight without all the encouragement from here either!

Thank you, all of you.

 

LoL totally agree with you i would never have started my sketches without everyones encouragement on gc and would like also to thank all members that stuck by me and helped me back doing my art projects, thanks love ya,all
