We made a pageful of samples from various sedimentary mixes. It was new to me and, I'm sure, will be a tremendously useful tool. Watching what each combination did as it dried was interesting! So, I agree, watching paint dry CAN be lots of fun!devotedmomof7https://www.blogger.com/profile/11635978837207269421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195072925691815944.post-73015143651364593822010-09-22T06:41:43.929-07:002010-09-22T06:41:43.929-07:00Thanks for sharing that Jean!

I absolutely love the interplay between one color and the next! It's a surprise and a treat, every time I paint!haphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616728116181059642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195072925691815944.post-77851833634339338312010-09-22T06:33:18.283-07:002010-09-22T06:33:18.283-07:00Wonderful note, to just play with pigment and enjo...Wonderful note, to just play with pigment and enjoy. <br /><br />I used a hairdryer once on instruction of a teacher, when I saw how forced drying dulls the pigments I realized that for watercolor to vibrate and glow it needs to dry naturally. <br /><br />Teresatess stiebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990043775194246617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195072925691815944.post-3482564143596863942010-09-21T14:26:38.748-07:002010-09-21T14:26:38.748-07:00LOL!

I must confess Jean I am impatient, I now don't use a hairdryer because of the blowing effect. BUT I now use a Chefs blowtorch!
