Well, did you know we have a large variety of Mixed Media journals available at Scrap-n-Crop.com? 

Yes! And it's a hit with artists; budding and professional.

why should I consider using a mixed media journal? 

Well for one, the world of mixed media includes wet mediums. 

Hence these journals can absorb a large amount of wet mediums without warping!

 A BIG PLUS if you love sprays and paints and anything that is water reactive such as the distress line! ... not to mention it's a definite must if you're into textures, paste and other 3 dimensional embellishments.

Pigments

Costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. Pigments derive from a number of sources: Some are natural products, notably the earths, eg. umbers, ochres; others come from metal compounds and are sometimes termed 'traditional' or 'genuine', eg. ultramarine.

The distillation of petroleum yields an ever widening range of organic pigments which are often termed as 'modern'. Many of the pigments used in Cotman are organic.

White in the Range

Traditionally the white of the paper provides the brilliance to water colour and can be used as highlights. However, some artists utilise Chinese White for highlights at the end of their painting or in dulling some colour mixtures down.
