What a Year of Painting Taught Me About Art Supplies 🎨 (And What I’d Never Buy Again)

One year ago, I shared my biggest art supply haul yet — full of paints, brushes, and papers I couldn’t wait to try. In this video, I’m looking back to see which ones truly earned their place in my studio... and which ended up collecting dust. I’ll go over what helped me grow as an artist, what I regret buying, and how I organize unused supplies with my “Hold Box” method. If you’ve ever bought art materials that didn’t quite fit your workflow, this might help you rethink what actually deserves space in your studio. 📦 Watch next: My Biggest Art Supply Haul Yet – $2,327 Worth of Essentials!    • My Biggest Art Supply Haul Yet – $2,327 Wo...   I Spent $2,882 on My Art in 2025 🎨 What Was Worth It (and What Wasn’t):    • My Biggest Art Supply Haul Yet – $2,327 Wo...   J.M.W.
