[Antir_scribes] Basic Gouache colors

[AnTir Scribe]

Maderun,
Gosh, I did not see that anyone respond to this e-mail. It makes me wonder
if my e-mail is behaving properly as I also do not remember a discussion
here before - where we have talked about paints - and people offered up
colors :-)

Thank-you so much for sending out this valuable info  :-)

I do think that we are trying to steer away from colors that less than "A"
permanence.


I have one color that I did not see mentioned on your list
it is:
Windsor Newton - Mistletoe Green - (perm)A - (series)2
It is a "secondary-on-the-color-wheel" type color of green
it is my favorite :-)

so that's my two-cents  :-) - for what its worth  ;-)

Thanks again
YIS
Bronwen
