Hello everyone!!! Today is Friday, which means we will talk about our purchases on #MarketFriday by @dswigle!(see details here: @dswigle/market-friday-barbados-lesser-antilles-in-the-west-indies)
I continue to learn to draw. For myself, I have already decided that I will paint with acrylic paints rather than watercolors or oils. I wanted to level up a bit and buy more professional paints. I found a very cool store in Tel Aviv and ordered some goods from them to try. I didn't think I'd get it soon. How surprised I was when, literally a day later, the courier called me and said that if I was at home, he would now bring my package to my door. Wow!!!! 馃槷
I could not believe that my order was delivered to me so quickly!!!! 馃榾 Israel is an eastern country, here haste is not part of the mentality; no one is in a hurry here. They tell you to be patient! But now I have the package. I open!!! 鈽猴笍
So, the canvases are on top. The colors are at the bottom.
Somewhere at the bottom there should still be a brush. This!
Now I will consider everything in more detail. The site of this store had a large selection of canvases: both cotton and linen, Italian (these are the most expensive) and Chinese. I chose medium-sized inexpensive Chinese canvases. It suits me well at my level of drawing.
These are Amsterdam paints - they are considered to be of very good quality. I'm very interested to try them in drawing and compare with what I use now.
The white box is titanium whitewash. I need this for applying primer to canvas before painting.
On top we put a brush - a liner. Look how long this pile is!
I'm glad I was able to buy this. Such brushes are needed to draw thin lines, for example, a cat's whiskers. I painted with a thin brush with a short pile, but I did not do it very well. My friend, who draws superbly, suggested that a special liner brush is needed for such details. The store had several of these brushes of different thicknesses. I took number 2 - this is a thin brush.
I tried to photograph for you the number 2 on the brush. I'm just delighted with my purchase! I hope I can draw with this soon 馃槂

Take care of yourself and be healthy!!!!
