Where do I go to get a water colour painting from? I don't want to spend much money (up to $50) but all I'm after is a water colour drawing/painting of one of those Australian shacks to send to my Dad for his birthday. Can I find somewhere that does them? No. Any ideas?

You need an independant art shop or a craft market.

Take yourselves off up to Hahndorf (only 25kms from Adelaide) and visit Hans Heysen's gallery. He's famous for his Aussie landscapes and you can buy prints there. Then you can go on to lunch at one of the fab pubs there! :thumbsup:

Yep, you're on. One of those landscapes with a falling down shack - know what I mean? Dad loves them.

No I haven't been able to get to Hahndorf yet. I sent him a book on Adelaide in the end but will continue to look for a water colour painting. Having done some research into this particular painter, his paintings are a little out of my budget ... :whistle:

Lol, yeah! But the prints are a bit more reasonable. ;)
