18/0 LOEW-CORNELL 7050 Script

a few places to find them on the internet:

Wow this is cheaper than I've ever found them!!!

http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/brushes-and-palette-knives/oil-and-acrylic-brushes/loew-cornell-la-corneille-brushes.htm

If you time it right, you can get free shipping here......they have weekly specials

My favorite brushes are sable watercolor brushes, soft, Jerry's has sales on brushes too if you time it right. There is nothing like a good brush, paying a little bit more is usually worth it! Just remember to take care of them, don't leave them sitting in water for too long or you will be sad...... :(

We used 4 different washes after we bisqued our pieces to cone 03

The wash was fired to cone 05

1 soda ash to 3 parts water (stronger more fluxing action)

1 soda ash to 6 parts water (weaker)

1 lithium carb to 4 parts water

1 borax to 4 parts water

For Class we used
