Did your little art kits have the WORST paintbrush ever? The little plastic one with bristles of equally terrible plastic quality? They were terrible.
This is so accurate I want to redo my childhood for just this moment.
Tangential: Tattoo artists that do watercolor style tattoos. Much wow.
I'm amazed at this too. Totally a different field and years of training. You know they did it for a long time when the strokes to render an image can be done in minutes.
🤣 Thinking back, I guess youths aren't exactly the nicest with things that aren't theirs and they probably saved the schools some money on replacement brushes. (Putting your childhood painting memories in a little glass half full)
That is so true! Reminds me of that "How to Draw an Owl" Tutorial sometimes. You blink and they have a full image. To take something that looks so free-flowing and manage to utilize something as controlled as tattooing to be able to display it. I want one - someday!
