Usefulpaintingtips.blogspot.co.uk - (Tips and techniques in painting)

because that's what I hope it will be - Useful.

I enjoy painting in Watercolour, Acrylics and Oils, and hope that some of the things I've learned along the way will help others.

Thought I would add some of those Tips and "tricks" here. Someone might like to read it.....if anyone happens to be reading this in the first place of course!

All the posts on this blog are purely my own opinion, just saying.
