Karin,

Thanks for posting your information on this subject. I was hoping you would. I will give Flake White a try. I am also going to order some Asphaltum. Have you tried that yet?

It's interesting the difference in opinions you get on this. One man's trash is another mans's treasure so to speak. I guess it has to do with different styles and techniques we use, and the end result we are trying to achieve. I tend to "bond" with artists that use similar techniques. I also used Joseph Sheppard's "How to Paint Like the Old Masters" (vulgar paintings and all, lol) and learned more from that book than almost any other. By the way, I love your work.
