I saw a $10 Kmart paint set that includes a few cheap brushes and tubes of medium... but my attempts at blocking in on the drawing app didn't look good. I also don't know how to mix/choose colours yet, and the chance of my sheets and my cat participating in the creative process are non zero. There may also be a sip of paint water on the cards.
Must... not... collect... more hobby clutter
I haven't even done another test run with the charcoal because I'm physically wrecked and spend all free time sleeping
Kmart paint isn’t worth bothering with. It has no depth and doesn’t blend properly. Brushes don’t need to be super expensive, but anything that cheap will shread in 2 minutes. Digital is totally different! Cats will drink paint water, it is inevitable. As are some unwelcome signatures 🐾
May I recommend these? Lots of colours, not crap and very not clutter. Grab one small pointy brush and one narrow flat one, or a cheap set Plenty to figure out if you like the hobby. These two pics will get you under $30.
