Thank-you so much.
I'm really in love with watercolours, but there's so much I didn't know until I read this.
I enjoyed your texture tutorial as well.
I've got them both bookmarked.
; )
I'm so excited to start painting : D
But I have some questions, if you don't mind: Where can I find the mediums?
Tissues - is it okay to use regular, table tissues or more softer one, like those you use when you have a cold?
Is any type of sponge okay to use?
I'm sorry for troubling you with so many questions, but I have no idea what to use
The mediums are made by Winsor & Newton and can be bought from a good art shop or the internet, I've bought mine from here [link]
Tissues can be what ever you have to hand, I use Kitchen roll (as its cheap), but i have used softer tissues before, basically as long as it absorbs liquid then its good.
Also experiment with the sponges, I use both a domestic sponge and a natural sponge. For stretching paper i use a clean domestic sponge, and for texture effects i use the natural sponge.
Hope this helps
I haven't got much experience (almost none) but I want to try : D
