Garnet Brown

When I was browsing Golden gels at a local art store, I came across some that had garnet in them. I wasn’t sure how they’d look when they dried. So, I asked a saleswoman. She told me the garnet gels would look like “bloody buggers.” Well, since I was teaching art to teenagers at the time, I figured purchasing the garnet gels would be a big hit with them. And sure enough, they gave me evils grins once they saw my sample painting.
