Okay, so you’ve decided that you want to be a chalk artist.

What comes next?

That’s kind of a “Which came first, the chicken or the egg” question. Chalk art equipment can be costly. So, should you buy and watch some instructional DVDs first and then invest in your chalk, easel, lighting, etc? Or should you just jump in with both feet, set up an easel and start learning to draw from day one?
