Very good Ang.....from a fellow artist (who doesn't have much time to indulge!).  I'm mainly into watercolour.  Used to do acrylic/but the girls keep raiding my supplies!  Which, I do, to a large extent encourage.  They are always making or painting or drawing something.

 

They, as a result, are getting top marks for their "technology" lessons.  Pastels, I've only just recently go into/do you have a large supply of colours, or do you mix them on the surface??????
