and it was good, sorry to say :P

Whoops. Must have been an accident, then.

I think my problem with watercolours is that they are the exact opposite of what I'm used to, what I've always done: black-and-white pencil drawing :P

Heh. Maybe that's an explanation why I keep having difficulties with black-and-white...

Too many colours! Not enough precision!

It's actually possible to be very precise with watercolors. It just takes a loooong time. ;)

Mind you, getting proper lessons in how to use them would probably help...

A while ago, I posted a tutorial thingy. https://eller.dreamwidth.org/1515.html Maybe that helps?

(Meanwhile, my son has been using oil paints thanks to his grandma. He's not terribly interested, but he did produce a few nice things.)

Nice. ^^ I'd love to work with oils but they.... stink. XD
