Jenny's favorite paint brush

18/0 LOEW-CORNELL 7050 Script

a few places to find them on the internet:


http://www.cheapjoes.com/catalog/product/view/id/9958/
Wow this is cheaper than I've ever found them!!!

http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/brushes-and-palette-knives/oil-and-acrylic-brushes/loew-cornell-la-corneille-brushes.htm

If you time it right, you can get free shipping here......they have weekly specials

My favorite brushes are sable watercolor brushes, soft, Jerry's has sales on brushes too if you time it right.  There is nothing like a good brush, paying a little bit more is usually worth it!  Just remember to take care of them, don't leave them sitting in water for too long or you will be sad...... :(

terra sig recipe


Use XX Sagar Clay for a white base, and Red Art and Neuman Red as bases. To make the Sig mix 20 lbs of water with 10 lbs of clay and a tbsp or so sodium silicate. Mix well with a drill then let it sit for at least 1 day until it separates. The heavy particles will sink to the bottom, water will separate out on top, and the thin stuff in the middle is the Sig.  siphon off the sig.

Alternatively: here is a description and alternative but similar recipe!


There is lots and lots of info on the internet about terra sig!  Do a search.

I found two places that you can buy it....
