When I started to do these acrylic ink paintings, I purchased four small paint brushes of various sizes. I only use two of them. My little brain loves to keep things simple. If you’ve ever looked at photographs of famous painters studios, you always see jars filled with all kinds of brushes. On my desk, I have a tiny ceramic I made that holds the two small brushes. It’s as visually unimpressive as you would imagine. As a result, there’s hardly any mess when I paint though.
