I chose the acrylic paint and canvass because I want a brighter color art piece (supposed art piece). I ought to do the water color paint artwork for maybe convenience and in my opinion without any real experience in doing watercolor painting, it easier to do because for example I assume that the paint on brushes is easier to clean than using acrylic although both requires a bit of elbow grease to clean them especially between coloring different areas on the canvass. My plan is this, buy the necessary items which I would later using the said funds and get right on doing my first piece. I will use my old laptop's stand as my easel and then paint whatever I idea would come from my thoughts but I do have an idea to put on the canvass. I plan to do it slowly and rush the whole thing unlike finishing one painting a day is inviting me for a failed work because for one thing I am not an artist and I have zero experience in doing art aside from doing it via my laptop about five years ago. So I would be guessing that my first art piece will be like a toddlers doodle after it accidentally picked-up a marker and started stroking the pen unto the house wall, so bear with me. I don't know but I feel excited about it like I going to my class at school for the first time but with a bit of anxiety about it because its my first time, I have no coach, no teacher but only relying on the bits of ideas which Bob Ross taught and demonstrated on his videos uploaded on YouTube as he paints and finishes his art pieces within a short time frame which looks easy but in reality it is not because you have to practice. I am quite surprised that the acrylic paints, the canvass, and the brushes are quite cheap although the brushes for example are not "big" and not made of hair but nylon, I guess that they will do the job. I will not use oil paints because I do not want to use volatile paint thinners which might cause cancer. Well I don't know if acrylic paint's fumes also causes cancer considering that I have a room with a poor ventilation. I am still contending with the smell of the paint of my bed frame up to this day and I am afraid that I might die from that acrid smell too, it sticks to my towel because I can smell it from my towel when I use the bathroom and pat my body to dry. Just now I found an easel already, I might order that too and use it instead of the old laptop stand. Now I would have a set of 24 color acrylic paint, two sets of brushes or one if I will not order the sets with broader brushes, a few small tray to supposedly blend colors, and the paper towels. #### These are the links where I would purchase the materials. * [Easel 1.75 Meters tall](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i4344062165-s24355132480.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Acrylic Paint Set, 24 Colors](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i3527769481-s18175458373.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Paint brush set, 10 pieces](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i4802604345-s27736492888.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Paint brush Set 12 pieces, small wide nylon brushes](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i4323686183-s24278616455.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Canvass on a cardboard, 20x30 cm size](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i4803124774-s27739340396.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Pigment/Paint tray, 11 cm](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i4802604345-s27736492889.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) * [Paper Towels for cleaning brushes](https://www.lazada.com.ph//products/i3763331155-s29691812459.html?spm=a2o42.cart.0.0.27d73e17parB6t&urlFlag=true) I don't know if the canvass size is big enough but I think it will suffice with its size of almost 8 inches by 1 foot because the paint amount which I will be using is just small as one tube of it is only 100mL so I have to be careful in using paint amounts so that I will not find myself lacking within the process. Anyway, the cost is relatively minimal to my surprise because I thought that the materials are expensive although I know that the brushes quality is not ideal but again it might do the job anyways. I remember Bob Ross saying not to use such brushes but brushes made out of hairs instead but maybe it is for doing oil paint artwork I'm not sure. From the time of this writing I will transfer the funds sponsored by Miss @wakeupkitty tomorrow from PayPal to my digital debit card (no physical card) because I am afraid not to touch or transfer funds the moment it is received for the reason that PayPal is notorious of freezing funds or account for doing transfers immediately to our bank accounts because of their algorithm. I don't know if it is still a thing but I am always cautious. It is almost instant when doing transfers to debit card in particular from PayPal which I only learned a few days ago after I transferred $4 dollars which was an amount that came from PayPal itself a few years ago. Anyway by tomorrow my order would be done and I hope to get my art work blog or maybe even video blog it too, now I need a Smartphone holder/stand as well, I am quite excited what would come out of it because I will start a new hobby which I had never done before, please pray for God to give me talent. #### Photography device: Vivo X200 PRO #### Camera Sensors: 50 MP Main Camera #### Camera Mode: Photo ##### ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇs ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏᴡɴᴇᴅ ʙʏ @cryptopie 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥
