Thank you Alan and Fiona. It will be interesting to see how long it is before I’m desperate for my watercolours. Hopefully I will enjoy both. Yes Alan , it’s rich and covers beautifully. Full of possibilities

Thank you Carole. There is so much to explore. I need two work tables now. One for my watercolours and one for oils. Thank you Katy. I know the style of oil painting I hope to achieve but need to work on the basics first. Thank you Anjana. The colours are incredibly intense . I’m finding I need loads are mixing space. Thank you Jennifer. I managed to keep the mess levels down a bit yesterday 😂 Thank you Heather. I am trying something rather adventurous today .... a seascape!
