 Student Question: Hi Samantha. I am registered in your workshop in Red Deer, Canada. I am wondering what type of gel medium and moulding paste we need? Light, medium or heavy? Also, what type of gold leaf powders do you use? I also like metallic leaf. Is there opportunity to use gold leaf? Can we use fluid acrylics rather then tube? Answer: Thank you so much for contacting me! I am thrilled we will have the opportunity to work together this Summer. Please find the answers to your questions below: 1. I am wondering what type of gel medium and moulding paste we need . Light, medium or heavy ? I prefer the Modeling/Molding Paste in a medium consistency, and the Gel Medium in a gloss finish. However, if you've already made a purchase, we will work with whatever you bring! Here are some links to my preferred brands: Liquitex Professional Modeling Paste Liquitex Professional Gloss Gel 2. Also what type of gold leaf powders do you use? My favorite products are by a brand called Gold Leaf & Metallic Co. www.amazon.com/Gold-Leaf-Metallic-Co-Powders/dp/B004BNGBBO/ref=sr_1_4?crid=FDIZPOC41A73&keywords=gold+leaf+and+metallic+powder&qid=1561734810&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=gold+leaf+and+metallic+%2Carts-crafts%2C179&sr=1-4 3. I also like metallic leaf. Is there opportunity to use gold leaf? Yes! Please feel free to bring metallic leaf. Here is one of my favorites: https://www.amazon.com/Speedball-10204-Mona-Composition-Sheet/dp/B000XAH7PI/ref=sr_1_19?crid=SID8LM6O15RZ&keywords=gold+leaf&qid=1561735043&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=gold+leaf%2Carts-crafts%2C178&sr=1-19 4. Can we use fluid acrylics rather then tubes? Yes, you are certainly welcome to use fluid acrylics rather than acrylics in a tube. We will work with whatever you bring! That said, I prefer the higher viscosity of paint in tubes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002665SYY/ref=twister_B07SZXVHR2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 For a complete listing of my upcoming classes, check out https://www.samanthadasilva.com/workshop-schedule.html Comments are closed.
