working at an art store is like. the best and worst thing i’ve ever done. every weekend i am tested. people come in buying so much paint and canvases and i ask what are you going to paint and they almost always show me pictures of their stuff OR if i’m really lucky, they want their stuff framed and i can see the real deal! i’m so locked in to oil, it’s really fun to talk to other painters about their mediums of choice. like, i havent tried acrylics in probably two years? and i’ve certainly only gotten better at painting since then, i should revisit it! or folks buying beads and jewellery making stuff. i’d like to try that :)

#i used to make bracelets and earrings and shit with my mama when i was a kid #we have soooo many beads etc at work it’s insane. hundreds #i’m also thinking about things like: Posca pens and gold foil appliqué #i’d like to get back into collaging and multi-media paintings #which are a bit harder w oil because it’s so finicky and takes so long to fully 100% dry #even if you can touch it and no paint comes off that doesn’t mean the oils are bound and set #so if you add other stuff the pigments can bleed or run #i just love oil so much……expensive and messy though #nice acrylics would be fun to mess around w again. something thick
