Have had a very dear friend here to stay. My friend paints , so obviously we have discussions and compare notes. I cannot for the life of me understand a mentality that has to have a crazily expensive paint box ( empty) , or a bag with a name , or instead of going outside to paint it is pronounced in French . <div>I will buy good quality , paint, paper ,brushes etc and the ancillary stuff like carriers are a backpack from ebay, a cut down plastic water bottle to put my water in , a bit of loo roll to mop with ...etc etc etc.</div><div>Personally I don't think the expensive paint container or the French terminology improve anyone's efforts . O K have had my little bounce ...and I still love my friend dearly.... </div><div>
