pen, ink and aldi
20 Answers
happened to be near a hobbycraft yesterday so popped in and had a look at their pen and ink stuff. decided to buy a fairly cheap dip in pen with 5 different nibs, and a pot of black acrylic ink. tried it out and am pretty pleased with it, easier than i was expecting and although a bit scratchy it was smooth enough to draw with. so thanks for everyones help and advice on my earlier thread :)
also just back from aldi with some canvases and a large tin of all kinds of pencils - charcoal, metalic, watercolour, etc. whilst most certainly not of the highest quality i'm sure i will enjoy having a fiddle with them all.

'ethie' - i like that heathfield :o)
you were all so helpful i just thought it was polite to let you know. also, being a complete novice, it gave me a bit of confidence to know what to actually look for.
pixi, i'm really not wonderful myself and it's taken me a while to realise that i'm doing this just for me and not for other peoples approval. i really like tony curtis's artwork, all colourful and vibrant.

Hi Eth/Ron:
Just another source of cheap art materials for you.
Most towns have a branch of 'The Works', which mainly sell remaindered books. But in each store you'll also find cheap art pads, canvasses, brushes, watercolours, oil paints and lots more:

yep, i paint straight on to canvas with acrylics, the ones i've ever bought have some sort of finish on them.
agree with you saxy, have had lots of their specials and mostly been pleased with them. only thing i wasn't was a lopper which broke after lopping about 6 branches. the metal blades were fine, it was the plastic (hollow as it turned out) handles which snapped. if they'd made them out of solid plastic it would have been fine. crossed my mind to buy a scope from them a few weeks ago but didn't get round to it.
