I only ever got a training in B&W and so really I only learnt how to draw and never how to paint! Colour's always been such a terrifying prospect and not one I enjoy really ( but one I feel compelled to work on!) Thanks thanks thinks! Yes black and white is so much more straightforward!

I guess because I'm so frequently using it for Aussie landscapes - so the more natural colours are in there... I wonder if that's why I find watercolour more difficult? Although it is a merciless medium. I really should kit myself out with the same colours (as the oils) and see how it works. Neon-fuschia hair is an absolute winner :-) Well done. You are obviously highly intelligent and charming. All people with intensely coloured hair are... You know the funny thing is my watercolour palette is quite different!

I'm living in gouache at the moment but it was so interesting to see the cross overs in our palettes :) Colour is my favourite way to express myself, down to my recent neon-fuschia hair colouring. (Reminds me of my favourite tube of Rose.) Hi Elise, fantastic post!

I decided to do this after talking to someone who was facing buying a whole range of colours (to learn oil painting) without being able to try them first to know what she needs. Expensive and hard! Colour is a devil and a joy. Black and white's so much more straight forward... xxx e Oh brilliant!!

What a well timed post. I'm terrified of colour and have struggled with it forever. After a brief, unsatisfying foray into computer painting I'm once again struggling with paint. I can't believe how helpful this post has been! I'm going to print it out and pin it to my wall. OMG! What a well timed post. I’m terrified of colour and have struggled with it forever.
