For my birthday, my bestie bought me an art kit to help take my creations to the next level. It includes Canson multimedia paper, 2 kneaded erasers, a white eraser, a pencil sharpener, 2 sandpaper pencil sharpeners, a set of 16 blending stumps with the case, a pencil extender, a 6 pack of Staedtler pencils and a mechanical pencil with the lead replacements HB and 2B. A middle range of art supplies are a good thing to have as they set me up for a new journey. I bought myself some Liquitex acrylic paint and professional brushes too. Success is part tool/ part technique; a sweet spot can usually give the desired results without too many supplies or too few but while unwrapping gifts; I thought about the bigger picture. It becomes apparent that it’s good to have a passion, a hobby or something to be inspired by. It’s good to have these things that help to give me a break from the daily grind, otherwise I might just crack under the pressure of routine. When monotony begins to suffocate my senses, this can lead to pure madness but there is a way out. I’m sure that just about everyone has something that they enjoy whether it’s fishing, photography or traveling. Whatever your thing is; it’s good enjoy it to the fullest and allow it to enrich your life.
