Also, I have used the stamp pads from an office supply store and they work well and are permanent ink. You can really print with any paint - house paint will also work if you use it fast enough. ;)
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?
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?
that's fantastic, Ursula and Lancillotto! I'm inspired
