Karin,
Well, I treated myself to a little present that arrived on Christmas Eve...I love the Flake White Replacement and the Asphaltum!
The Flake White Replacement is everthing you said it was! I was amazed at the density, and really like the way it stays where you put it without changing or darkening, or (sinking in) as you call it. It is much easier to build up light, as you said. I had previously found the "sinking in" to be one of the most frustrating things...one of the reasons I was considering going to the leaded paint. I don't need to now! This will remain a permenent part of my pallete....in fact, I like the Gamblin products so much I plan to explore more of them.
I'm not sure why Michael didn't care for it, but I assume he uses a different technique. After all, different "strokes" for different folks (pun intended Cynthia!)
Anyway, thanks a million. I have gotton so much good information from this forum! I am working towards getting one of the Nikon Digital Cameras so I can feel confident posting a painting.
