My paintbrushes.

I am no professional artist but I bought professional ones.

It cost me over Ā£200ā€¦ Not sure exactly how much

Once they wear out I wonā€™t buy those again though.

These paintbrushes are very soft and so they work well on paper with watercolours.

If I can go back in time I would not have bought them though.

Bit excessiveā€¦

They say the best investment you can make is in yourself because no one can take that away from you. The best ā€œinvestmentā€ in myself i ever made was buying a bible i supposed lol because it changed me as a person

are they real horse hair? i dont know much about painting but i think good brushes can get really realistic resultsā€¦ idk i just feel like natural (vs synthetic) fibers will tend to produce natural phenomenon like trees etc more realistically if you know what i mean. Ofcourse im basing this off of that one bob ross video i saw that one time so :joy: :grin:

The professional ones I have are sable which is this Russian mammalā€¦

Yes I can really feel the difference.

The paint just flows more nicely onto the paper.

Plus they are less ā€˜scratchyā€™ meaning that the paper is more likely to retain its surface very well.

I mean I can still produce very shitty results even with these brushes. But yea, it does help to produce better paint effects :slight_smile:

I second this! I recently got a 2018 Subaru Crosstrekā€¦ AND ITā€™S ORANGE!!! Itā€™s a great car. Handles well, decent cargo space, room for luggage & also room for doggo, and great features like keeping me in the lane (very helpful when Iā€™m foggy brained from fibro). AND ITā€™S ORANGE!! Oh, wait, I already said that. Haha.

Thankyou :slight_smile:

I could say the same to you.

Itā€™s great when people have hobbies that donā€™t do damage but instead joy, such as music production that you do. :slight_smile:

I guess my college degree even though I think I could have enjoyed it a lot more. I didnā€™t have very many good roomates.

As of now it would be my banjo. Me and Oscar are joined at the hip so to speak.

Itā€™s really given me an alternative rather than thinking about wanting to drink the beer and stuff. I have a feeling this instrument is going to save me.
