Hello there

[Wood]

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Got a lot of respect for this site, particularly enjoy all the interviews. Currently trying my hand at painting flash. Developed a knack for stockpiling large amounts of error-ridden watercolour paper.

Only way to learn is to make mistakes. I see that you've found the painting methods and materials thread, there's a lot of really great advice there but nothing substitutes for just trying things out and seeing what works for you and what doesn't.

Got any tattoos?

[Wood]

Very true, it's a fun learning curve even if it does get frustrating at times. That thread is really helpful. It pointed me in the direction of the PH Martins, which I'm sure will improve my painting now I've worked out how to actually use them.

Yep, have a few. Try to get tattooed as often as I can scrape the money together, which definitely isn't as often as I'd like
