Paint

Go to: BRUSHES | THE BOOK

The paint you are using in the studio is a professional grade liquid tempera manufactured by Prang. Prang has recently been bought by a new corporation and the paint has been reformulated. We are not satisfied with the new formula, and we have tested all the other existing brands. The one we like best is the Studio Series Tempera by Utrecht.
