Q & A Page 1

During the past few years, different people have e-mailed me asking the same questions over and over again. Rather than continue to try and individually answer each question every time it is asked, I'm going to take this opportunity to answer several of the more popular ones here...

What medium do you work in? I paint with gouache. It is a very versatile medium. It can be watered down and applied transparently (as in traditional watercolor painting), applied thick and opaque (as in traditional oil painting), or applied like caulk (as in traditional acrylic painting).

What support do you paint on? I work on Winsor-Newton hot pressed watercolor paper.

What kind of brushes do you use? When I first started I used the infamous Winsor-Newton series 7 round, but since those brushes have become so expensive, I have switched to a much cheaper, synthetic brush. Specifically, I use the Golden Fleece rounds, (mainly 6's and 8's) from Cheap Joes Art Supply. They are just great little brushes.
