So What Do I Do With This Stuff?

     I'm starting out with a 9"x12" canvas pad, and paints and brushes that haven't see the light of day since 2004.  Not optimal conditions, but I will have to make it work. I still am on the fence about using my cadmium paints. I was not expecting to need pliers to open up the paint, nor was I anticipating my Liquin to be so liquidy.  I guess I'm going to buy some new supplies tomorrow. I will also spend part of my day thinking of subject matter more inspiring than my left hand.
