Dammit. Artist Crack.

So I think it is relatively well known that most artists are addicted to art supplies.  But if not, here you go guys, now you know.  I have a hard time walking into an art supply store and not walking out with more things than I need, and I am really good with my money. But it gives me all these ideas.  Watercolor ground in particular has been calling to me. I think of that and wood panels and treecreatures and... *shivers* so many possibilities.

And I have been holding off from trying/buying any Daniel Smith watercolors because I know how good they are. From other artists recommendations. From articles about them. From... well... everywhere.  And right now I don't neeeeeeed watercolors.  I have a lot of good (not the most amazing ever) but GOOD watercolors.

And then Vantid had to come over and wave their beauty under my nose... and let me try them... and now... now I want them. I crave them. They need to be MINE.  I appeased my supply addiction by ordering the 'dot sheets' of 238 DOTS of color that I can play with.. so I can figure out what colors I can't LIVE without... and then I will sit there all antsy and nervous and itchy until I can finagle up the money to buy them.  But man you don't understand. The pigments are so intense, and they granulate so well, and, and, and... I NEED them! Think of the ART man! Think of how much more BEAUTIFUL it will all BE!!!

*sigh*

Don't feed the artist new art supplies. You make her crave more, and get her twitching in the corner over her art desk as she stares at her subpar paints.
