re: Cake international entry 2014

I love that it’s handpainted, it’s so unique! I’m delving into hand-painting, I just love the technique. Can I ask if you used gel or powdered colors? I have been mixing gel with everclear but your colors are so bright & clean! I definitely need to practice but any tips would be welcomed! Also, what brand of paints do you use if you don’t mind me asking?
