My first encounter with watercolour...

When I was eight years old my parents gifted me with a watercolour tin box. This was like this:

It also had a small brush. I loved watercolour paintings but did not know how to paint. So all I did was to fill the black and white pictures, especially those found in the comic books with the colours. I had gone to the art teacher for only a day. He placed a wooden toy railway engine and made me to draw and paint it. I could not draw the engine properly. He politely asked me to come back when I grew older. LoL.
