When I was younger I loved to draw and always wanted to try
my hand at painting however it was often a messy affair and consequently
replace by 'magic painting' as soon as possible. For anyone that doesn't know this
basically means using water to paint over some grey pictures to release the
colour. So as a kid I was pretty happy with that but it does mean that now I
still feel like a small child when attempting to use grown up paints.
Then I started to notice more craft projects were using water
colour pencils and wondered if these would help me get back my art groove, and
I am glad to say that I am now a convert!
Well thanks to some great inspiration and tutorial videos
found on the net.
