How I Paint

I decided to do one- even I was curious at how I paint my artwork.
Also I wanted to do something for people out there who don't have the latest paints, watercolour paper, brilliant brushes and photoshop as a software.

I use just THREE paint brushes in all my traditional artwork. Yes I have others but using them....ugh (sorry it's a hassal. truthfully I don't like washing paint brushes).

I could have easily done this all with a paint set of tweleve (which you can see next to the big set). Also I draw on card and, sometimes, I don't even lineart my work. just paint over the sketch like I did with this one.
If you are low on budget (like I am now! O use biros to outline your work but outline it AFTER you paint it. yes it is difficult but just incase you're worried about the biro smudging with paint then...yeah.

Also use colouring pencils over watercolours. Not only does it look good but I'm sure that you have more control over handling a pencil than a paint brush.

Finally- you don't need photoshop to edit your artwork! yes it's a brilliant programme (I used to have it on my old computer before it died) but there are alternatives. I used Windows Live Photo Gallery- you click on 'fix' and it allows you to crop the picture, edit saturation and all sorts of things.

EDIT: yes I draw on my lap. I don't have a desk nor do I want one XD
and on the 3 image on the top row- I was using my mum's iphone to find some piano music on youtube XD hehe
