I had my math final this morning at 9:00, and that bitch was damn difficult. I need a 70% in the class and at least a 50% on the final to pass the class. My current grade is... not that nice. I've never been much of a math student. So, I'm pretty scared. On my way home, I decided to stop by Aaron Brothers to pick up some paint brushes and a canvas board. There's nothing as soothing and calming as the smell of new, unused art supplies. I ended up treating myself to an early birthday present.
About $140 were spent on 6 itty-bitty tubes of oil paint, a bottle of linseed oil, one quart of turpenoid, a basin, matte varnish, Pink Soap brush cleanser, a 24 x 30 canvas frame, and a sketchbook.
Oils are expensive. It's a pretty big investment, unless I can learn to be really, really thrifty with my paints. Needless to say, I got carried away and forgot to buy the brushes. But my budget wouldn't allow it anyway, so I guess its all fine. And if it weren't for those three coupons I printed out, I would've had to pay 50 dollars more. So I'm not complaining. But it would be so completely awesome, and the-best-present-ever if I got some natural-hair oil brushes for my birthday.
Just saying.
mkp.
