I really would love to be able to handle them. It would be so nice to be able to carry a small paint set when traveling, and you certainly can't do that with Acrylics. My hat's off to anyone who can make a nice picture with watercolors! Go take a lesson and learn how to use them!

My problem is with colours, I just can never get them right. I'm reasonably good in black and white and even grey tones but not colour.
I borrowed my sister's small watercolour set with 12 colours and painted a for me recognisable flower (again the colours are a bit off). I didn't paint it the proper way with moistening the paper first, first I want to get a hang of mixing colours.
My father has just gone to the local art store to see if he can find why one of their machines is acting up and I asked him to inform what a nice watercolour starter set costs with more than 12 colours.
What I would love to be able to do is when I'm on vacation to take with me my watercolours and blank postcard and paint my own to send to family.
