Well guess what I did it and I loooooooooooove them and I loooooooooove you for showing me how to paint them. They are not great but I love them and will now practice and practice. Thank you sooooo much for the easy to follow tutorial. Love your method.

Hi, I really do enjoy watching your channel, you provide such a clear presentation and pack so much into a short space of time. I am pretty good a drawing with pencils, but want to moved over too watercolours. Can you please recommend the paints that you use, did the paints come with your paint tray and the best paper for watercolour painting. I wondered if there is maybe an online shop you use for quality brushes ect. Many thanks and please do continue your sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated, Terry.
