Hi all. I have too much art stuff and no longer the health to use most of it. I loathe to part with it as it represents me. But I have to get rid of so much to move to one level living/smaller space at 49 yrs old, and some products make me very ill now.
So I am getting rid of many things. Just sold my oil painting supplies. A big box, Winsor Newton with a few other good brands. Many were the largest tubes you can buy, and many smaller, all mostly full. Many not opened. All my mediums, odourless solvents, etc too, unopened, for $70. And a large next-to-new easel for $60 to a local art student in university. She couldn’t find an easel anywhere during the pandemic. I felt good it was going to her. She definitely got hundreds of dollars worth in paints and supplies! It was the right decision, my hands and feet were burning just touching the tubes and I had very serious asthma all afternoon and night I couldn’t get out of with meds.
I have so much more good stuff- all mediums, papers, pens, inks, tools, paints, pencils, pastels, sprays, additives, etc. It is like a store. And beautiful huge professional canvases. Well, canvases of all sizes! I don’t think I will be able to paint them. So at some point someone is going to get a GREAT deal. But it makes me sad.
