Can you answer “Yes” to any of the following?
* I have tubes of paint that I don’t use because I’m not sure how they would react with other colors!
* More than likely I have a tube or more of paint that I bought and totally forgot about!
* I tend to use the same palette over and over because I feel safe within my comfort zone?
* When I paint I pick what looks good and hope for the best!
If you answered “Yes” to any of the above and would like to know how to:
*Save money
*Save time
*Have an organized system
*Paint with confidence
*Learn about compatible palettes
*Maximize the potential of every tube in your “toolbox”
plus…
*I’ll open the window to see how masters of the past and present use intensity to their fullest potential, so can you!
*Glazing techniques
* How to showcase your watercolor painting with a new and innovative technique! Don’t miss this workshop, space is limited

I received this question today and was wondering if my art buddies have any suggestions: “I was encouraged to buy Walnut oil as my new “now” medium for actual painting and cleaner for oil paint on the brushes. Now, I come from painting in the 60′s and we …used the combo of , linseed oil for thinning the paint and turpentine for cleaning brushes, now known to be harmful. I am so unhappy with the walnut oil that I want to return to the linseed oil and turpentine method. So, before I do this dastardly deed, i thought I would check with you, ~what do you use,~ is there a happier alternative for me?”See More
