Comment by Heleen de Vaan on December 13, 2012 at 7:15am: For linocuts I used to use a certain paint. I'm not sure about the English name, in Dutch it's called gouache or 'plakkaatverf' (literally 'poster paint'), it's water-based paint (and in contrary to water colour paint, it's not translucent but it covers/coats well).

Here we can buy it in the same shops where acrylic paint is sold (and it's cheaper than acrylic). Hopefully in Latvia, too?

Comment by An. U. on December 12, 2012 at 9:33pm: I decided to learn something new and it will be rubber stamping and printmaking - new year, new hobby. But what a mess - I live in country where artist tools are very expensive, Speedball ink for printmaking there cost so much! I must be a millionaire to buy it. And there's my question - maybe I can use anything else? I quess acrylic paint for rubber stamps works good, but for linocuts?
