Art Kit

My 12yr Daughter is a budding artist. Can anyone suggest a art kit/site and software to help encourage her.?
My 12yr old daughter is getting really good at art. I would like to encourage/help her. As neither me or my wife are artistically inclined. I would really appreciate any suggestions for a beginners art kit (manufacturers and contents) and/or a uk based website and also some software for digital art (suitable for her age/experience which is none) as she has expressed an interest in this area. Many thanks in advance.
Can I firstly say that it's great your encouraging your daughter to broaden her talent in art. I can say from experience that art is that subject which people are just naturally gifted at, and to be honest, no one can learn art or be taught it, it's a gift that either someone has or doesn't and your daughter has it. That is why I would Just like to say that an artist needs to be aware of the different mediums one can use, for example: water colours, charcoal, acrylic paints or pencil or pastel/chalks. One needs to find their medium and can from there can flourish and practise at it. Surprisingly art is about practise and natural talent. A good site is: theworks.co.uk - they have alot of art equipment at reasonable prices, no need to break the bank for such things. One more thing encourage your daughter to paint and work on canvas, sketch paper and even things like glass (painting) and also computers for digital art, let her take her own pictures (her own digital camera would be ideal) and make lots of photo montages, these are great ways of practising taking pictures accurately, Good luck with everything, and don;t foregt to take your daughter to other museums like the tate modern, National portrait gallery (have picasso and Cezzane exhibitions) to inspire her and to let her try new ideas and ways of art. For example, the history of art has so many types: abstract, impressionism, pointillism and many more. Hope this helps.
