Why Skip Lawrence Chooses Cheap Joe's
 
Maggie's Corner
   
 
What began as a matter of $$$$ has turned out to be a love of Cheap Joe’s Exclusive Products.

American Journey Watercolors
Now I am not cheap nor am I stupid. So when CJAS came out with pigments that are twice the size for half the price I tried them. There is absolutely no loss of quality and more importantly I found FREEDOM. Freedom to apply rich pure colors in a way I had not known. My paintings took on a new vibrancy and life that is not possible with small tubes at expensive prices. You can feel the same freedom and joy by buying American Journey Pigments. Trust me!

Kilimanjaro Watercolor Paper
Kilimanjaro paper is 53 cents cheaper per sheet than is d’Arches. Now, that is not as great a savings as American Journey Pigments, but at 200 hundred paintings a year I save $50. Kilimarjaro is the whitest paper on the market and for the way I paint that means very little. More important to me is the papers strength and surface. It will handle all the scrubbing, scrapping, and torture I can deal out and ask for more. If you have not tried it, do yourself a favor and give Kilimanjaro a test drive.
Brushes, Brushes, and more Bushes
My favourite brush is the “Skipper” (and not because it carries my name). This brush is made of natural bristle and works well with wet washes and heavy application. The “Legend” a round sable, is invaluable for watery slashing mark making. I have this brush in several sizes, but if I could have only one it would be a size #12.

Unedited photograph of my tabouret -(Tuesday Feb.8, 2005). Notice that every tube of watercolor pigment is American Journey. The brushes (The Skippers) and palette (Skip’s Palette) are exclusively sold by CJAS. Chock Full of Nuts and Maxwell House are not made or distributed by Cheap Joe (although he will tell you where to buy them inexpensively).
