those Titan Bizancios are very nice too, those tubes down the front.
And there are tubes of watercolour there that I have been using for fifteen years.
good quality watercolours are very dense and go a loooong way.
depending what you do with them of course

Now Golden Acrylic paint, now there's a competitor. I spent 350 euros the last time I bought some acrylic paints.

But I am having to try and work out how to replace my computer right now, and it's a lot more than that.

Later I agree that the way one can derive works from works in the digital realm makes it impossible to ignore, and believe me I don't.

anyhow, I am afraid I stand with my original point, it is far cheaper to start painting traditionally than digitally.
later the unit cost is much less, or even zero, but the same is true for me.
Even if I never shop for materials again, I won't have to stop painting in the time I have left on this planet.
(barring the case of a catastrophic loss of my house and studio, but that goes for the digital world, and with a hard drive failure or similar is far more likely.)
