Then a professional artist needed an old box copied and I thought “I could do that”; it opened up my eyes such that I could use the skills from my former work in a new way. I love what I do. A paint box is an essential tool for an artist, it becomes part of them. My boxes are inspired by those of the past, but using better materials, and because I paint myself I understand how the boxes are used.” Website: http://www.paintboxcompany.com/ About the Teleseminar Craig Young makes watercolour paint boxes to order, with a long waiting list, mainly for professional artists from all round the world who value his craftsmanship as a vital part of their own creative process. Far from seeing retirement as the end of his carefully acquired career skills, he now uses them to great effect.
