Hi there,
Wissel from the Netherlands here.
I've just began engraving and just have the same problems as mentioned here .
Stupid question : What is Chinese white???
Prob a water based color to do painting ?
I've looked up the meaning in the English- Dutch dictionary but could not find a satisfacted answer.
Can you explain it to me?
Thnx in advance.
Best regards
Wissel
