I'm an expert in art materials. Ama?
I recently left my job because of a toxic work situation, and I genuinely miss helping customers find the products they're looking for. I also miss answering all those odd or quirky questions that crop up even with experienced artists.
I genuinely loved working in art supplies, and getting into the granular details of how different supplies worked. Since quitting I feel really underutilized mentally as I no longer have new customers that need help or old customers calling or emailing to ask questions I can help them navigate.
I don't intend to sound pretentious or like a know-it-all, but if anyone has any general, or even more esoteric, questions regarding art supplies I'd love to help!
I can answer questions regarding traditional watercolor, gouache, Japanese watercolor, acrylics, oils, watercolor pencils/crayons, brushes, paper, pencils, etc. I even have opinions about sharpeners. I also have a fairly robust understanding of art material historical context.
Tell me your issue you're running into or your question you've never asked(?)
