Igor! He's 15 years old.

Thanks for responding, I'd like to try that slow drying line, sounds great!

Loving this! I struggle so much with acrylics, do you use a drying retarder medium?

Thank you! 🍃💚

Interruptions can happen occasionally in the dynamics of a conversation. I feel it's sort of a bad collective habit though, "everyone does it" so everyone has to fight for their turn all the time. Some people do it overwhelmingly & seem particularly self-involved & unable to listen at all, though

I totally get that. I sadly feel I too have acquired the habit of sometimes interrupting because otherwise I don't get to speak. Also interrupting sometimes is normal in a conversation. But I think there's a perceptible difference between that and the type of person/situation I described!

Exactly, it's a form of erasure. It's like they can't acknowledge you as a fully present, conscious subject, they are the main character and you are just a background prop. That's why it feels dangerous, because that notion can hypothetically escalate to an erasure of boundaries

Aww thanks! I'm always oscillating between "I want my art to be delicate and detailed" and "I want my art to be bold and minimalistic" so it's nice that maybe there's a way to achieve both 😆

It's good that we're all different so all types of paint can get their share of love 😂

I've painted with oils a few times in the past, and I really want to use it more but I feel it's so high maintenance to take care of the materials 🥲

It's interesting how we can resonate best with one media or another!

I just can't make it work for me, mostly the fast drying — it doesn't fit my way of painting and I guess I still haven't got a handle on how to use slow drying medium

Ele me seguiu um pouco e ficava de pezinho pra receber carinho 🥲

Amo esse barulhinho!

I think he must live in one of the nearby houses! It was hard to leave him behind though, haha. I hope he gets a lot of love
