Inspired by the upcoming, 'The Gilded Age' by Julian Fellowes. New money? Or old money? I love the chocolate brown crystals in this piece. Each Czech glass bead is adorned with a crown of its own. So excited for the premiere this coming week!

Got some paintbrushes with bed head? Microwave water for 2 minutes. Swirl brush in water to loosen and reshape. Also works when paint is just inside the ferrule, to get it out of there.

Then place them bristles DOWN to dry. A simple binder clip can hold the handle.

This works great for simple reshaping to get stray hairs back in line.

You know the toothpaste that comes in a tube? Well it all started with an Artist 180 years ago...

In 1841 an American portraitist, John G. Rand, invented a method of packaging oil paint in flexible zinc tubes.

Handling oil paint in the field wasn’t as easy as watercolour, but paint in tubes at least made it possible. Artists could now work en plein air on canvases destined (as watercolour sketches often were not) for public exhibition. Impressionist practice depended on tube-packaged paint.

With Anthraquinone Blue PB60 constrained at the moment, I thought you might be able to use my little worksheet for mixes in a pinch. A pigment pinch! :) Of course they WILL NOT mix the same with others, but if you want that masstone and/or a tint - these are quite close and if you use Golden Artist Colors OPEN, you can put aside some in a little container to tide you over.

Tinting = adding white. But playing around with the pale or tinted versions of other hues can have some interesting results as well. Take Titanate Yellow, for example. It's cool lemon-yellow single pigment goodness, without any white in it. The result? Not only a paler tinted Azurite Hue, but without any chalkiness, just enough of that green-biased lemon to make a gorgeous cool green.
And Zinc White tints without added opacity.

Doing Tinting Tuesdays and Shady Saturdays every now and then. Let's face it - I mix paint every. single. day.
