<p>[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 138827, member: 993"]So that's photographed directly, not through any glass, right? It's kinda shiny, huh? So pastels are hardly ever fixed or sprayed to that extent of shine. Gouache can be so dependent on weird stuff people put into it as binder, but I think that's a possibility. I wouldn't rule out acrylics or oil, actually, those can be cut with oil or water, respectively, for a more water-colory effect, especially if sponges are used. I'm guessing you can smell that it isn't oils, assuming it's not tooooo old. Do you know how acrylics smell? If so you could try that, or even let a tiny bit of warm water touch an edge and then smell it, same with oil. If advertising it, I'd have to say I really wasn't sure of the medium, unless one of the options above gives it away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see the name as "something Faith"?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would add that I think it is very, very pretty, and would be a nice addition to any number of décor options.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT</p><p>Mr. Fun and I both saw "Faith"![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I would add that I think it is very, very pretty, and would be a nice addition to any number of décor options. EDIT Mr. Fun and I both saw "Faith"![/QUOTE]
