This light Soapstone texture and colored over-glaze creates a bold and versatile look.
Golden Paintworks® Soapstone is an excellent texture material for over-glazing with metallic and other pigments because it is non-absorbent and smooth (no sand). A smooth or roughish texture can be left depending on the look that is wanted. A slightly rough texture is left here to give the colored Glazing Gel something to catch on to.
Materials:
Base paint - Benjamin Moore Regal flat tinted to Soapstone colored 2057-20, GPW Soapstone tinted to BM 2057-20, GPW Glazing Gel colored with one part GPW Metallic Paint "Penny" to eight parts Glazing Gel.
Tools:
GPW Medium (240x100mm) stainless steel trowel (3.9"x11.5"), 3" spackle Knife 6" spackle Knife, Optional-taping knives

![Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors Set [Includes NEW QoR watercolors!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sHZ-6BEk_g4/mqdefault.jpg "Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors Set [Includes NEW QoR watercolors!]
From Golden Artist Colors comes a new watercolors set inspired by the expressive portraiture of acclaimed artist @alicavanaugh. The power of this six-color set is realized in the transparent mixing technique perfected by Ali. With these colors, painters can transcend basic flesh tones to capture the aura, interplay, and translucent color that appears in faces bathed with sunlight.
The paradox of achieving a seemingly unlimited range of colors and expression from only six colors proves endlessly fascinating - as this palette is unlike that of any other artist.
The QoR Ali Cavanaugh Portrait Colors set includes 5ml each of:
- Nickel Azo Yellow
- Pyrrole Orange (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Perylene Crimson (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Sap Green
- Ultramarine Turquoise (NEW QoR COLOR!)
- Paynes Gray
The set comes in a tin with a mixing lid and a mixing tutorial video featuring Ali Cavanaugh can be accessed via QR code. QoR Artist Watercolors are produced in New Berlin, NY by the Employee Owners of Golden Artist Colors, Inc.")

![Can I Paint Outside [Plein Air] With Acrylics?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/spk5rUNGVks/mqdefault.jpg "Can I Paint Outside [Plein Air] With Acrylics?
Most acrylics dry too fast for plein air painting, but OPEN Slow-Drying Acrylics from GOLDEN offer increased working time, expanding their range to include more traditional techniques once only possible with oils.
OPEN is one of the best acrylic brands for hot or dry climates. For artists in more humid locations, you can speed up the drying time by mixing OPEN with faster-drying acrylics like our Fluid and Heavy Body colors. Because OPEN Acrylics dry slowly, painters who cover their palettes or use sealed containers have been able to use the same colors for weeks, reducing the amount of paint wasted and saving color mixtures for future use.
