Well, Ok, yesterday's post was a little bit of a downer.  Sorry about that....today's another day and I finished my rose painting this morning.  Then I did another auction piece and it's posted above.  Starting bid is $50.00! 

I received another question about color, "why do you like Rembrandt?" from my friend Gaye. 
I've tried a lot of different brands but Rembrandt is one of my favorites.  For one thing, I like to mix most of my colors and I just find that this brand works for me.  Also, Rembrandt is a well respected high quality paint for professionals that will stand the test of time.  I also like the consistency and because of it's pigment and it's creaminess, I find that much of the time I don't need a medium.  When I do use a medium, it's usually Liquin or Gamblin Galkyd slow dry, or Galkyd lite depending on the drying time I want.  Liquin and Galkyd lite tend to speed up drying time whereas Galkyd Slow dry and Gamblin Neomeglip tend to slow the drying time which gives you more working 'wet on wet' time. 
I also like Gamblin and Winsor Newton paints.  For me Holbein is too transparent.

As always, thanks for taking the time to read my blog!
