I have never painted or seriously drawn a picture before. I am a creative person though, and love to write and view art. I especially love surreal and abstract watercolor paintings. I don't think I have any real artistic talent in the way of drawing faces, flowers, etc. Basically I like surreal and abstract paintings, and especially like the way watercolors come across. I am looking to start a hobby, and think I would enjoy mixing colors and creating unique images.
I have been told by several people, including my husband, that watercolors is one of the most difficult and frustrating mediums for a beginner to start out with. He recommends colored pencils or chalk. I don't want to do drawings. I want to blend colours and create surreal type images.
Are there any recommendations for the medium I should begin with? And also, cost ? I can't really afford to buy top notch supplies. Since it's a hobby, I want to be pratical.
Lastly, Is watercolor a bad idea for a novice?
