This is my very first attempt at an actual water colour. I use the little box if I paint on location, other than that I use the tubes and a palette. A board is very useful as you can attached your paper with masking tape,and get a nice white border when you carefully remove it😊 I think mine is a cheap old notice board. A tube of white Gouache is good for flowers and anything to be picked out in white,as white watercolour isnt worth buying. BUT NEVER MIX GOUACHE WITH WATERCOLOUR,or the watercolour will go opaque. Lots of luck with your first attempt Rubee,keep trying,its well worth it in the end!😊😊
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Thank you so much Valley Gardener . I appreciate your help .I will start buying my equipment next week .your painting is beautiful .I think I will have a problem with perspective but nothing ventured nothing gained . Do you use acrylics?
You're more than welcome Rubee. Yes I use acrylics when I paint pebbles,or "block in" an oil painting,occasionally I do a pic with them or greetings cards. The golds and silvers etc, I use in conjunction with oils. See the roofs on the fantasy castles,moons etc.
