## Questions & Answers

**Q: As someone with no watercolour experience - What else do I need to buy apart from this to get started?**
A: You will need some not(cold pressed) grain fin water colour paper 140lb or more, poor paper may puddle or wave.Masking tape to secure to a board and get a nice clean line and margin to mount later. A mixed selection of sized brushes 12 round, 5 or 6 round and 1" flat that should help you to get started you can then slowly build your brushes up.Buy the best you can afford as they should last a long time if you take care of them.

**Q: Do they dry quite chalky or nice and smooth? I like to work over what I paint with pens etc and chalky watercolours destroy my pens.**
A: I use them for pen and wash. I've used them for 50 years with no complaints

**Q: Im really confused.  The picture shows this is the fueld set with the water bottle, but later it shows a different set.  Which is it as there is a big**
A: No you don't  get the bottle .At least I didn't. Also ,it doesn't  list the bottle in contents.

**Q: Can the paints be replaced in the plastic case once they've run out?**
A: they're all in separate plastic containers so you can buy colours to replace them
