Heat Set Paint & Mediums: Alva & Go

The Alva & Go heat set paints have taken the Spanish speaking reborn world by storm, but I was lucky enough to be recommended them by Ruth Annette who has painted many thousands of dolls. When I ran out of genesis I wanted something that allowed me to use my tried and rested methods as well as let me airbrush too. I wanted something with the fast baking times of genesis - just 8 minutes so I can be as productive as possible. Ruth let me try hers and I was absolutely in love with them from the get go. 

These paints make the simplest transition for users of Genesis, and are a great start for beginner. Their colours are vibrant and lightfast, and their mediums give flexibility to artists to create texture and finishes with ease. The thinning liquid, which is totally clear, is a non toxic replacement for solvents for both brush painters and airbrush painters. It can be used in place of liquithin for a quick colour base build up.

I'm bringing them to the UK and hoping to translate all of the materials and labels for English speaking artists.
