yeah, i use enamel paints, and i understand the point about a wrist support, as when i draw i rest my wrist on the paper, and get good results(and a silver grapfite hand). when i come to think of it, i always try to paint in mid-air for some reason. what do think i should rest my hand on that wont move?

Carlisimo - your right about thin brushes, as i was using a one hair brush to paint a gear stick this afternoon, and the paint was semi-dry when it reached the part, and because of its gloopyness, it was like painting in whiped cream.

thanks guys, you've opened my eyes to things that i was pritty dumb to miss!
