Thank Goodness I used Acrylics! (by sarah)
I was painting last night just some more alien landscapes, I had dry pictures on the other half of the table with books over the edges - to try and make them flat (the edges curl up and I've found if you leave them long enough with wieght on the edges they straighten up a bit), when I nocked the water pot over 
If the dry pictures had been water colours they would have been ruined!!!! But fortunatly I discoved last year - acrylics!
I love acrylics 
You can make them look like oils or water colours or poster paint! But they dry water proof! The are easy to mix into new colours and come in a huge range anyway - plus you can get many different textures
Last year for our anniversary I painted Al a picture and he got me a book on acrylics
At some point I will set an on line gallery up but I just have to much to do right now - but I'll let you all know!

Yup, my Daddy and Granny showed me acrylics when I was a little babby, and I've never looked back since.
