My favorite art supplies i use on a daily basis as an artist. You don't need 100 different brushes you need a good flat square brush flat round brush (in different sizes) angle brushes fine detail brush. Thats all I use for anything I paint. Rarely but sometimes use a fan brush. I use pallet knife to paint with oils alot also.
I admit it. I'm not interested in puzzles under 1000 pieces, and puzzles with over 1000 seem a little overwhelming. I also really don't enjoy puzzles that are just landscape, so I'm only sharing and recommending the fun ones! *shrug* I hope you enjoy!!
