I'm going to make a painting thread for all your painting needs. It shoooouuuld go up tonight, but we'll see.

Awesome.

I was just going to ask about watercolors. I like to do sketches and gestural drawing in pen. Lately I've been wondering about how they would look with watercolors over them.

What's the price range for "getting into" watercoloring. I have 0 painting supplies.
Any brands I should look for?
Resources?

I need to gesso some paper for an oil pastel and ink drawing I'm going to work on. I went to the art supply store and saw that white gesso primer is expensive as all hell. I do have some normal white primer paint in my garage though. Is there any real difference between the two?

I just painted it on some cheap paper to see how it will work. I'm letting it dry now.

Here's another question. How thick of a layer do you want when gessoing paper? I may have put too much because the paper got really warped with the moisture. Granted it was thinner paper.
