Beginners Attention: Arts, Painting & Craft Supplies

I've been drawing for over 10 years and thought this would be a nice change of pace from my own art. However, I think poor quality paint and canvas will frustrate beginners. Let me give you some tips! FOR SOME REASONS, the canvas will be shipped folded instead of rolled. This creates terrible creases on the surface, which is already difficult to work with. If you have an iron, iron the non-cast side. I used a mixture of heat from a hair dryer and heavy books. It didn't fix it completely, but made it better.2. The paint is poorly distributed and leaves brush marks. Try adding some water to the paint to make the lines sharp. When it dries, go over the area with more paint until it becomes opaque.3. The harder you press, the more brush marks you will have. If you want a solid area but the brush continues to leave bare patches, try applying the paint with less pressure.4. A good canvas will hold the color. Good colors mix easily and are opaque. It's cheap canvas and cheap paint, so they don't mix well. If you're frustrated, it's not you, it's the materials. I hope it helps! Overall a decent set. You should expect lower quality for this price range. Hopefully, with a few tweaks, you'll find that this is a good thing.
