Hi everyone - couldn't think of a clever name - sorry about that. Anyway, I have just started painting again after a gap of a few years, and have joined a lovely class called "develop your drawing and improve your painting" - I think it is working! What I would love your advice on, is what you would recommend I buy - I just had a (rather too big a number) birthday, got a £20 voucher for an art shop plus some money, and don't want to (can't afford to) waste any of it. I only have a small sketching watercolour set at the moment, so am just wondering whether to buy a watercolour paintbox ready filled, or whether to use tubes, or get an empty box and fill with separate pans. Anyway go to go, end of lunch hour, but I look forward to hearing from some of you. Happy painting.
Val ;-)
