Everest when the exhibit came to the Phoenix Art Museum. He also gave a lecture where he told us that he had to add gin to his painting water (not drinking water, ha) when painting on site on Mt. Everest to keep the water from freezing. Wonder if that would work in the water brush. Worth a try.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539698269509231387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-76478522392165216572011-03-03T17:18:42.691-06:002011-03-03T17:18:42.691-06:00Thanks for the info, and link to your website.

One thing I would add with regard to working in bright sunny locations—try to wear lighter colored clothing (white, beige, light tan) when on location. If you wear a brightly colored shirt, it will reflect on your white paper and it can skew your color perceptions. Same goes for a hat that the light shines through!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.com
