Painters Tip


Changing materials

I test a lot of products for my workshops sponsors and I really enjoy using products and materials I've not tried before.

Trying new materials, formats, and sizes is a good idea. When you are starting out especially. It is easy to get into a comfort zone rut and hard to get out of it after awhile. I know painters who only paint in one or two size formats and only specific brands. They feel comfortable with it and don't want to try anything new.

The problem with that is that sooner or later an opportunity for commissions or some other project will come along and they will not be able to paint well because they are using something they are not used to. The same goes for paints mediums and brushes. I think it's a good idea to be able to use all mediums at least proficiently, because you will have many more opportunities when you are versatile.
