I Was Told I’m NOT a “Real Artist” - because my art supplies are “Too Cheap” 

I tend to buy affordable paints, brushes, paper, anything I can find that is cheaper LOL - however I’ve been told that is bad for art by some more traditional artists.
I’m just happy to paint, that being said I know there are benefits to using more expense paints (like longevity and durability). Especially for doing official work. I do use more expense paint for any bigger commissions I do. However I’m always happy to be cheaper and probably have been conditioned to buy art supplies on a budget.
So here is an actual art shop or haul that I would do when I need to stock up on a few supplies.
Nothing crazy haha! Figured it would be nice to show you something real though rather than just showing off a bunch of stuff to make the video make me seem like something I’m not.
Let me know what you do! Are there any art supplies in particular that you love?
Also with yesterdays video (it was more or less an inside joke). I had fun posting it though :D
Hope You’re well,
