[Steppes] illumination question

[Jann Mays]

Lady Gabriele,
Do a search for gouache (it's even pronounced goo-wash in French).  Perhaps the spelling was the issue in the search.  Dick Blick is a good art supply and you can order online.  However, I've never had any trouble finding gouache.  I think I got it at Michael's.  Acrylics work, but gouache was always our preferred paint for illumination when I was in the guild.

It's been awhile since I've done any illumination or calligraphy for Steppes, but I received a thistle for C&I several years ago. :)

I've been looking at ebay for paints. I've found several Winsor & Newton sets. My question is what kind of paint do I want to look for? I've found water mixable oils, acrylics, watercolors. So far I haven't found anything that says 'goauche' (sp).
