pencil, colored pencil, casein paint, gouache, oil pastel & watercolors in zecchi journal ~ 3.5 x 5i've been messing around with white shiva casein paint, seeing what i can do with it. the reason i got it was because i was looking for a gesso-like paint that wasn't acrylic. so far i like it better than gesso...
sir charles edward - pencil, colored pencil, casein paint, gouache, oil pastel, soft pastel & watercolors in zecchi journal ~ 3.5 x 5you can paint on it with watercolors and gouache and it doesn't dissolve, but if you get your finger wet and smear it around on the surface, viola! you'll cover up or 'fade out' what you've already done. sir charles once had a body...

most of the opaque color on these pages is pelikan gouache, which i'm growing to love more every day. thank you, olivia, for turning me on to it...

it comes in big tubes for $11.26 at dick blick...

I really like the effects of your paintings on that ground. Reminds me a bit of Klee-your imagery. The softness is what I've been wanting too. Thanks for showing me this new ground!
