Template's OC, Paint, dislikes cheese. Is there any particular reason?

I had a friend at university who disliked any kind of cheese and for no reason I had to think of that when I brainstormed for Paint’s likes/dislikes, so I made it a character trait. He’d even refuse to try cheesecake just because of the name (which is objectively the best cake so he’s totally missing out!). 

I’m sorry there is no real deep/meaningful reason behind it. Paint is just there for fun and I might as well just rolled a dice to decide what his likes and dislikes are. But since Paint is just supposed to be fun, make it deep and meaningful and headcanon the crap out of this fact. I’m sure Template doesn’t mind :D

About white paint

Since we’ve recently gotten a new hire who confused a lady about paint, I figured it was about time to make this post explaining all the differences between the many shades of white paints.

Please note that oil paint tends to come in a much larger variety of whites, and any questions about specific white colors for ANY medium (or brand) can always be sent to my askbox <3

Titanium White - Typically the most opaque white you’ll find. Most pigment                                     load.

Zinc White (could also be known as Mixing White) - Usually used for mixing                       flesh tones, as it’s more transparent than Titanium.

Flake White- A warm, quick-drying white. Exclusive for Winsor & Newton (?)

China White (also Chinese White) - Usually just for watercolor or gouache, this                          is a less opaque white, but mixing isn’t as transparent as Zinc.

Warm white - A slightly warm tinted white oil color. Cream, almost. 

Cool White - A slightly cool tinted white oil. Faint blue tinge.

Radiant White - A gamblin exclusive. Part of their radiant line of colors,                                      brightest white that Gamblin produces, adds almost a glow.

If there are any more you’d like to add to the list, please don’t hesitate to let me know!  These are just a few I could name, there are several more depending on brand and medium. 

Please reblog to let more people know about this blog and white paint!! xD
