“... this is an occupation known as painting, which calls for imagination, and skill of hand, in order to discovers things not seen, hiding themselves under the shadow of natural objects, and to fix them with the hand, presenting to plain sight what does not actually exist.” Leonardo da Vinci

“Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.” James Fitz-James Stephen

    Beautiful pigments mixed with honey. My favorite pigments!
    
  • Twinrocker Paper
    Recently I'm using Twinrocker paper, in hot press, heavy art and 0 on the white scale.
    It's a gorgeous handmade paper that has just enough texture but shows pigments beautifully. I'm very impressed with it!
    Note: Twinrocker paper sometimes behaves badly with masking fluid, pulling up in pieces. If this starts to happen, go very slowly with masking removal. Everything can usually be salvaged. Use Incredible White Masking - it works well!

    Gorgeous watercolor paints under their own name, very good quality. They also carry Sennelier.
    
  • Cheap Joe's Art Supplies
    Reasonably priced, not cheap, art supplies. Don't order Arches paper from them since they put a sticker on individual pieces that leaves residual stickiness. Very frustrating to find out halfway through a painting! They also carry lighter weight Twinrocker paper. Best round brushes available!
