Golden Paints-I love them! The fun stuff of Studio Life

Happy New Year artists and friends! Do you believe I am going to start the year blogging and writing about paint? Well, yes! As an artist and art instructor, my paints are especially important in my work and workshops. Since I love expressive color in my paintings, Golden paints are so easy to use . You can even tell whether the paint in each tube is opaque or transparent by the rectangle just below the cap. If transparent, you will see the color and bars will be present and if opaque, you will see just the color of the paint. Simple!

I know this may sound a bit tedious and boring even, but as a professional artist and painter, the very beginning of a painting always has to start with the very best, professional paints! Don't waste your time with lower quality paints because you will struggle with your painting and who wants to do that? Purchase Golden brand paints-I sound like a commercial-and you will be ready for any challenges. It is so much fun and the colors are so beautiful!  Try all the different types, mediums, gels, etc. Golden Principal Color Mixing System Set  and also try this brush, too. Wooster Brush Q4119-2 Golden Glo Angle Sash Paintbrush, 2-Inch  

Happy New Year and  Happy painting to all!

Deb, I applaud your recommendation for using the best paints and brushes (and papers) that you can afford. I am a proud user of Daniel Smith, Holbein, Sennelier and Winsor Newton Watercolors, and Daniel Smith sable brushes. Good tools make all the difference.
