Media

My art supplies and media:

Countless sheets of hardboard
Many heavy sheets of paper
primers and mediums for general purpose
many egg tempera pigments (I have all of the colours required to make icons, and then some more)
watercolours
my trusted pencils of various  numbers
watercolour pencils
good brushes for icon  making
several brushes for the oils, that will be used for other media now
charcoal
gold leaf (real and fake)

I need ink, cheap  paper  to waste (although my art teacher used to say: never waste a piece of paper, always make something of that sketch), perhaps a few more brushes.

The key concepts here are easy acces to things, not making a mess, not too much fuss about things. This is so important in my life right now.


I also need a way to make all this part of my life again. Not in theory or in dreams. I have been dreaming of being an artist all my life, but never believed it. It's high time.


How should I do this? Sketch and draw like my life depends on it.
