Once a year, the Savannah College of Art and Design, where Daniel teaches, organizes an Art Material Trade Show, open to the public. For three days, quality vendors set up booths and sell their art materials for 50-80% off retail prices. They are available to answer questions, do demos, and even give away freebies.
Daniel and I were in 7th heaven. He talked to many vendors about their products and using them in his classes, to past and present students and to other professors. I got to meet Mark Golden of Golden Acrylics and buy all kinds of supplies at super low prices. What a day!! Can't wait to use it all tomorrow and paint, paint, paint!Hope you are all doing well! I'm looking forward to visiting your blogs this weekend.
Sure looks like you had a good time!

ReplyDeleteokay - super excited for you, and just a little envious for me - what a GREAT day of stocking up on goodies
ReplyDeleteYou lucky ducky! Wow, I can't even find a place to buy Golden Paints over here - I read about them in books all the time, but in Germany, the art scene is very conservative and ernsthaft. You know what I mean! So only the traditional companies paints are available.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, sounds like a lot of fun!!

Since visiting New York and finding an art store from heaven somewhere near Times Square where I stocked up on gorgeous Golden acrylics, I have since become addicted...nothing else will do now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day, Silke, can't wait to see what wonderful paintings you'll create with your new stash! More birds like your beautiful egret maybe?
That sounds like dying and going to heaven! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Silke, I can see why. Wonderful!
