Default Re: Water based scrolling

Pat,
Nice looking work! When I use a water base paint, I just use it unthinned.
Put alittle bit of water when it starts to set up. Water base works great to
practice. You never know when you may need to do a design on a project
thats not a hard surface. The brushes are alittle pricey. About 13 dollars
each and not many people carrry ones for water based paints for doing
dagger designs. For scroll practice the liners made of synthetic will work fine.
One shot is still my faverite paint. I use water base if I do an inside sign
that requires striping or scrolling and the oder of paint is an issue. The dagger
brush for water base also requires alot of triiming and shortening the handle to work good.
