Thank you. Perfect timing. . .I am completely out.

    1. Nope. It's gesso. Ground up marble and all. :-)

    2. They sell marble dust. Blick has it for people who make their own pastels.

    4. Yes, it is what adds the tooth to the paint. For pastels it lends hardness, you will find it in Rembrandt brand pastels. Schminke uses talc so they are much more soft and buttery feeling. It is very finely ground, dust, finer particles than silt.

  2. Sorry, it might have been exterior paint. Anyhoo...
