I don't really know the answer to your question but I can "surmise" about it. I splurge now and then and buy something I've been reading about that's intriguing. Usually I buy whatever is normally out of my reach and I like whatever it is. A year or two ago though, I bought some Mission...

The brushes are synthetic. I have almost everything they make in real hair so I was a bit disappointed that these are synthetic but I got them anyway because of the fact that (1) I know Fuumuui only offers good products in general and (2) I loved that the brushes were done in different styles...

@Joy I discovered I had posted two about the brushes by accident so I posted again and gave the right url for the palette a little further on in the thread. Sorry about putting the two urls about the brushes. Speaking of the brushes, I tried the feather flat brush in the set of brushes and it's...

I just discovered I posted two links to the brushes and no link to the palette, so here's the palette link: Palette Sorry about that and sorry I found the mistake so late.

I'm 80 years old with plenty of wrinkles and totally grey hair to prove it but when I went into a store and tried to buy my son a pack of cigarettes to save him having to come in with me when I was buying stuff for myself I was asked to give my ID! I forced myself not to say anything rude, but...

I had someone "loving" my work, too, and wanting to add something of mine to his "collection" but that was just a scam. I suspected something was fishy because I'm no great shakes as an artist. Then he wanted to discuss it in SnapChat or some such so I just reported it and blocked him. I'm 80...

I was trying to edit "kaput cartum" in that thread right there but I guess it timed out so I couldn't fix it. That / was a typo.

I couldn't decide whether to start a new thread for this or to put my news here but I decided to put it here in case it's supposed to be put here. I'm so absolutely excited about it, though. I'm eager to share because it's so awesome. I've been a dedicated Fuumuui customer ever since my poor...

I've gotten back to reading actual books and I love it. I've never liked reading online and it's wonderful to just sink back into actual books. The book I just finished is Nobody's Girl by Virginia Giuffre. Awhile back I also read Out of the Woods by the now grown up little girl who was...

Wow! I've never been inspired to paint without sketching first but I'm terrible with sketching. It's a chore and I erase so much that I know it damages the surface of the paper. Maybe I'll try painting without sketching. You do such a wonderful job of it that I'm sure mine won't be as good as...

Here's one for a challenge I did but you have to scroll down to find it. Suns

I broke my hip in April and after I got healed up and got rehab and stuff done, my daughter and I had to get busy packing up to move to a house where she can live with me and we both have our own art rooms so I think the last piece I posted was a sunset I did from one of the photos PaintBoss...

You're such a good artist, Joy! And you're way more prolific than I am, too, so I just figured you were a pro. I suffer from "fear of the blank page" and I'm terrible with sketching as well as not wanting to "waste" my supplies so it takes me forever to get going on a new painting. I post my...

I can't say I've used this particular paper because I haven't yet but I've tried some of the other inexpensive cotton papers you may have seen me mention in other posts and I found them to be nice to use. I've never used Arches so I don't have that to compare to. I do have this Lightwish...
