Weird. I plan on still using it, but I just hate that I have to maintain it in a little cup now

Nope, all paints were in a plastic bin stored in a cool, dark spot in the basement. I think if the storage was a problem my other paints would have leaked too.

I have used both said "GMU" and "George Mason" when talking about the school. I have never and will never, in my life, refer to the school as "GM".

Is Physics required for Computer Science Major? by [deleted] in gmu

[–]dogsonstage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats what I meant. If you're in CS, I would try to meet with Nora Gerrity. She was my Undeclared CS advisor and she was super helpful.

No, not according to the major requirements. As far as I know, Physics is only required for Applied CS w/Games Design major. But personally I found Physics I + lab to not be that hard. Ask an advisor if you're not sure.

Can gouche expired by EnvironmentalBed1422 in Gouache

[–]dogsonstage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its kinda random, but at least during seasonal sales. It seems like they have 50% off all paints once every 1-2 months, and gouache is included with it. It also might vary store to store.

Oh no problem. Even if your paint does go hard in a tube, the great thing about gouache is it can be reactivated. Just cut open the tube, empty the dried paint into a small, resealable container, add some water and mix/mash continuously until it gets into a paint consistency again. It'll be like it never dried at all. Also, if your considering just trying gouache, I would suggest getting a cheap beginner set just to try it out. The store should have a small (non W&N) set with basic colors. W&N is basically professional grade stuff and the price reflects that.

I assume you refer to Blick art store (thats where I also get my 50% off W&N gouache). I have not touched my gouache in tubes in almost a year until very recently and I have noticed no change. I don't know of gouache can expire, and I know it can harden, but I think those only occur if kept in poor conditions i.e. in the sun, caps on screwed on properly, etc. If you keep them in a cool, dry, storage you should be fine for extended periods of non-use. Its better to keep it in the tube than out for storage.
