Don't be in awe. Its a highly learnable piece of piss really. Initially you have to be very brave and know for sure that your first 50 paintings will be utterable shite and that you wouldn't even dream of wioping your arse on them. I was teaching my daughter the other day how to lay down successive washes. Her third attempt was really quite good! I think the problem for most people is the hideous disappointment they feel when they realise they are not naturally 'gifted' whatever that means. Well. neither am I, I just practice it a lot.

Feel free to swing by whenever you want - I'm in all day and all evening. A warm welcome and hot tea is guaranteed!

Ah well, can't be helped ;-)
