I resent how most art supplies are designed to pander to the worst affectations of amateur artists: the flimsy pochade box; the flowery font for faux-French product names; the precious sable brushes, etc.
Art is DIY. It’s innovation and improvisation.
Screw products. Make art with what you’ve got (and buy the rest at a hardware store for 1/4 the price). Or in the back-to-school aisle, like this talented fellow.
