Th...Sheila - I cannot recommend paper artsy enough. The fresco finish paints seem expensive because the bottles are quite small. But the colour is so intensive and they keep very well that actually they are more of an investment. I haven't got a colour chart to hand or I would photograph it and send you a photograph because the group the colours in families to help you choose complimentary paints. They also do a few limited edition packs of mixed colours that work well together. I have found them a great way to get started and the colour is much better value than the paints of the same size that you can buy in Hobby craft over here in the UK.<br /><br />Paper artsy is a British company but I'm sure they would send stuff abroad and it's possible they may even have a stockist in the US.<br /><br />Alternatively, although I have never used them myself, golden fluid acrylics might be very similar. Lots of artists use them I know.<br /><br />One thing I would say is that I use heavy body acrylics by daily Rowner usually for morning printing and more slapdash work.Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-67128862021916689032015-01-31T08:30:10.177+00:002015-01-31T08:30:10.177+00:00Darcy - I feel honoured that you have popped by my...Darcy - I feel honoured that you have popped by my humble blog. And thanks for the tip I think I might treat myself to white fire and pewter. I need to start somewhere, I can't buy them all at once! So it is a useful tip if these are the ones you tend to use the most.

You have a better selection than I do and I've known for some time now that my paltry and not well thought out collection is holding me back.
