I was surprised that watercolors finished ahead of oils.<br /><br />I always wonder what kind of support oil painters use-I prefer linen on board (glued), or even just taped-and given a choice double oil or single oil primed. But I see people using copper, airplane aluminum and a host of other surfaces.<br /><br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-58596780534072471002009-08-10T17:42:55.214+00:002009-08-10T17:42:55.214+00:00Well as you can see if you click on my Clustr Map ...Well as you can see if you click on my Clustr Map (top right of right hand column) this blog might be written by somebody living in the UK but it's visited and read by people living all over the world - with some 55% coming from North America alone!<br /><br />If you go to forums like Wet Canvas and look at the different media forums you'll quickly come to appreciate that the watercolour forums are always the most popular and can be very busy indeed.<br /><br />Similarly if you look at art instruction books the majority of media oriented 'how to paint' books are for watercolourists<br /><br />All of which independently validates a notion that watercolour is very popular!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-52838056081636829562009-08-10T17:33:14.536+00:002009-08-10T17:33:14.536+00:00Do you have a breakdown regarding whether UK or US...Do you have a breakdown regarding whether UK or US for these? wonder if perhaps more British use watercolors than americans, for instance, and the survey reflects strong British presence?<br /><br />Secondly, am delighted at how many seem to use artist inks - guess can consider that as pen and ink? - considering the dirth of instructions and such for using this medium for fine art purposes [as opposed to sketching and drawing prelims], tho, in my case, am pushing it thru www.societyofpeninkartists.blogspot.comvisioneerwindowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896393894219466588noreply@blogger.com
