Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, although not new to crafts! ;) Have spent the last 3 years at uni and had my crafty side subdued somewhat, and now I have graduated it is back with vigor! :D
I have started painting again and although I have used acrylics in the past I am not used to them and not sure about the do's and don't's as it were...varnish/base that sort of thing...I have been painting on canvas and canvas paper and the work looks fine at the moment, but wondering if it is going to age badly because I didn't paint a base on or varnish them. (They are all on cavases that have been pre-primed).
I am also looking for advice on the best places to have a go at selling my work, craft fairs maybe? And help/suggestions much apreciated :D
