Re: [teacherartexchange] liquid watercolors....need help

Thanks for the quick response Susan and Barb. Maybe I should explain how I
want to use them. I do the shaving cream printing lesson with them for a
decorated paper technique for Altered Books/ATCs/bookmaking and the
watercolors I've used in the past...due to price...are Prangs. The papers
look so washed out when dry so the colors are way too muted and we usually
have them go back in with ink and colored pencil to spice it up. I've done
this lesson for 3 years running so it pretty standard the quality of print
we get. I've tried tempera and that dries too fast. Acrylics are not an
option. I'm thinkin' the liquid watercolors might be easier/deeper in color/
whatever for this technique. Anyone done something similar or maybe have a
solution to our problem? Toodles....Bunki
