This spring, instead of transporting so many things back and forth every six months, I chose to leave all of my art supplies in Texas.
I recently decided that I want some practice on brush stroke and acrylic paint techniques before I head back, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money for 6 weeks of practice.
Enter: Dollarama. I purchased all of the supplies in my feature photo for $16.59 CDN ($12 USD) and this is all that I need.
The paints and brushes aren’t near the quality of the ones waiting for me in TX, but they’ll suffice for the time being.
For now, I’ll practice on a sketch pad and poster board.
When we get back to TX, I’ll continue with folk art (my fave) on my “free” canvas … Palm husks that drop from the trees during big winds.
My current goal is to learn Norwegian rosemaling so I can paint those designs on the palm husks too. I’m not Norwegian, but hubs is.
