then change the surface.
I was sitting in a café that had some brilliant art hung up on the walls. With closer inspection, I found that its acrylic paint on sandpaper. Yes, on sandpaper.
Why, you ask?
Simple. The painting artist has a limited number of paints she can use. However, the number of items that paint can be used on is endless.
You don’t need to discover a new tool or paint to use, you just need to change the surface.
