Kuretake starry gold watercolors

Could be. I still enjoy using these, although I find them problematic when I use them to cover large areas, as there seems to be something slightly odd about the binder when diluting and coating a surface. But they are excellent for smaller pieces. I've also started using the Gold Lustre paints from Bristle and Brush, and they work very well for detail work as they are highly concentrated and really flow well off the brush.

@Nadia Madden Thanks! Bristle & Brush has some very nice paints. I’ve been wondering if a traditional gansai binder might work well for shell gold, too, to accentuate luster.

thank you Paola!

@Karima Cammell Just checked out your video - you brought back so many happy memories of my childhood! I used to make paper theatres too - just without any puppets or stories at all, only the moveable backgrounds and intricate scene changes. I loved it. I did this right up until starting art school actually... you might like this, one of my favourite museums in London and a whole room of paper theatres. http://pollockstoys.com I'm slowly trying to get my toddler into them too (he's a bit young probably but hey). Keep making them!

@Vaishali Prazmari The paper theatre video I sent was actually my sample for a pandemic art class I teach on Instagram Live. Last month my students worked on telling their own stories through paper theatre -- and on the last weekend we had a virtual art opening! Pollocks (the museum and shop have split and it is the shop that I'm in contact with) sent a video to let my students know what great work they did! 😉Here is the link to the Instagram. It will delight you! https://www.instagram.com/castleintheairstudio/

@Karima Cammell Oh my goodness what a delightful video you created! Wonderful, just wonderful. And with a cittern-playing squirrel, too!! And friends in kudu horns! Loved it.
