Hiya. Just a quick post to remind all of you who haven’t entered. The GIVEAWAY for Da Vinci Trios + Hahnemühle watercolor book ends tomorrow at midnight Pacific Time. Get your entries IN.
And just to whet your whistle for some Da Vinci paint and some Hahnemühle paper, here’s a painting I did for Hahnemühle’s calendar contest this year. I love so many of their papers and everytime I put Da Vinci paints on Hahnemühle paper a beautiful friendship starts bettween the watercolors and the paper surface.In this painting, I used both my Trios, Garden and Juicy to paint this up. I named it “Face Time” because of the flower on the right that seems like it’s LOOKING right at you! It looks like I may have used my Da Vinci cobalt turquoise too, by the look of that bucket, lol. I just love how beautifully the paint makes so many colors.
If you purchase either of my trios and use any of my da vinci links to buy paint, I do get a small compensation for sending you to Da Vinci to shop your heart out. I just put in an order for several big tubes of watercolor, including Violet Iron Oxide, Benzimida Orange and Indigo! YAY. New paint. One can never have enough. It always makes me happy to have new paint and you must admit, it’s a fairly inexpensive indulgence as indulgences go. Just pace yourself, hahaha. (As if an artist jonesing for a new color can do that!)
Where To BUY:
To help YOU get your hands on good paper, I have put together a landing page for “Where to BUY Hahnemühle“. I still have many places to add, it’s a labor of love. If there aren’t links under a specific paper, it doesn’t mean it’s not available, it just means I haven’t gotten the links in yet. And here’s a few more pieces of good news. Hahnemühle Harmony 140lb paper that comes in hot pressed, cold pressed and rough spiral bound (the only brand that comes in all three finishes in a spiral pad!) is available now at Wet Paint.
Another fantastic piece of news for us Canadians! OPUS art supply have ordered a boat load of Hahnemühle paper, they are now a supplier of my favorite paper brand! YAY! OPUS has seven stores in BC and an online store that ships across Canada.
Here is the OPUS shipping rates chart.
