A few months back, I bought hiking boots. A few weeks back, I bought a water pen. What is the common thread? (No, not capitalism. That’s a different sort of post.) I invested in better tools.
The water pen has improved my artwork a lot because it gives me more control over where the water ends up on the page. It wasn’t an expensive item, but it made a big difference.
In the past, I have gone hiking in flip flops, or whatever shoes I happened to have on. I can say that it is totally possible to have a great time hiking in “wrong” shoes. That said, I really love how my new boots help me interact with the ground (and by “interact with,” I don’t mean “fall on,” which has been the case in the past). I could hop from rock to rock a lot more confidently. I came back without sore feet, blisters, or scrapes.
When we are just starting out on something, we don’t need to spend a chunk of money on fancy stuff, but there is a moment when we can enjoy what we do even more with the right equipment.
