The thing about brushes is, the money is already spent and if you take good care of the brush, it will be good for years to go. With pencils though, they get shorter and finish if you use them much and then you have to buy another one, even though a lot of brands sell singulars (yey!). Paper is a peculiar thing, if you don't use it because it's expensive, it loses its' bonding thing, not sure about the english, but it will not be the same if you keep it in a drawer and don't use it. People! Use them if you bought them, no matter the cost. Happy holidays to everyone 🤩
I totally understand the idea that if I buy certain art supplies, it will make me paint better. I do that and it doesn’t, not for me anyway. 😂😂 The temptation and hope is strong though lol. A set of Silver watercolour brushes from Amazon were pretty expensive, but I have ended up using them the most, so don’t feel quite so bad about the cost. Merry Christmas to you Evie🎄
Loved the video, gives me inspiration for next year to challenge myself to use some neglected supplies. As far as the expensive brush goes...think about it as the money has already been spent... life is short...use the brush 😊 🖌️
Hello again! I too have lino, cutting tools, rollers, printing ink.... I've been too scared to use! I used to know how to, but it's been a long time .... if you use yours next year, I'll use mine 😂😅 We're a funny lot us humans aren't we? Take care. Merry Christmas and a happy festive season to you Eve x Nell.
Here is what I think about supplies that I don’t use on a regular basis. They don’t go bad and will be there waiting for me when I take a whim to use them. I have a few things that I collected all the colours in and organized them in pretty containers but yet they just sit there. However, i will use them someday. Like maybe today, as we are in the midst of our first winter storm, and I’m not going anywhere 😂.
I have tried acrylics, bought too many, that are rarely used. I gave most of them to my daughter’s dorm manager who is an art major. I prefer watercolors or gouache. I need to accept that 😂
Just an idea and 100% can say no but if you want sometime in 2025 and you’re ready to use gelli plates maybe we can zoom together and I can “teach” you the techniques I’ve learned. I use them for more than just patterned paper

I wish there was a specific app for buying and selling used art supplies…that would be so useful!

You can donate art supplies to one of your viewers perhaps?
That's what I have to friends who are lino printing.
