The best advice I was given...

...When I started watercolors: start small. Why is it such a good advice? Read below:

List of supplies that I own, have tested and appreciated, available on Amazon:

Even if I now make what are considered as large watercolors (22x30 inches up to 35x50), I go back again and again to this wise advice: start small - I know, its frustrating, because you will also hear the exact opposite: make it huge! But for a beginner, it was extremely precious to remain humble:

• Fear not! Any mistake on a tiny piece of paper will remain tiny;

• Experiment and play are within reach: small art is the best way to test compositions;

• Non professional pigments will fade a little, but not as much than if framed on the wall;

• It's the absolute BEST to carry around and for travel, in a nice purse;

• And also it is CHEAP! Here I focus on the small size with good quality. I will publish a post about really affordabke art supplies later on.

• Why do I love Gansai Tambi japanese watercolors? I'll tell you in another post. They exist in professional pigments.

Enjoy the day!
