Tag: painting-tips

I remember when I first started painting back in the day must have been in the 70s and and paints were so different then. Now I'm retired and thought I'd pick it up again, ordered some from Amazon, but golly, there are so many kinds! I live in a small apartment with my cat Whiskers, and we like to watch the birds outside while I dabble in art. It's a nice way to pass the time, you know? My granddaughter visits sometimes and we paint together, she's only 8 but so creative. Last time, the paints I had were too thick and dried out fast, made a mess on the table. I need something easy to use, not too pricey, since I'm on a fixed income. Sharing this on Facebook because my friends might have tips too. I tried watercolor once, but it ran all over the place, not for me. Acrylics seem better, but which brand? I saw some sets with lots of colors, that might be fun. Anyway, if anyone knows good ones for old folks like me starting over, let me know. Bless your hearts!
