The word Painting as a verb means application of colors on to a media and as a noun means a graphic art that consist of an artistic composition made by applying paints on a particular surface. The media can be any of the following: wood, glass, concrete, lacquer, or paper of canvas. But when this act of painting imbibes an expression or a concept it becomes a work of art.
Developing artistic skills is inbuilt in the genes of the many famous artists we had in our history. To follow and practice art is an extraordinary skill which should not have any kind of barriers. That is why I bring you some useful tips to get those art gadgets like oil paints, canvass, and fine brushes at a much cheaper price!
1. Online shopping is one of the best ways to shop for the exact oil paint or brush you are looking for. Because the product you are looking for may not be available in the stores nearby your place!
2. Try to look for complete paint kits. They almost always have all the colors that you will need. Regular sized paint tubes which are 37 ml are always the best to look for. This will be way cheaper than getting individual paint tubes!
3. You can always test the quality of the paint before you put it to real use. You can always test paint in a normal paper or a campus paper instead of trying oil paints out directly on canvas!
4. Clean your brushes immediately to save those expensive brushes from getting dried and worn out.
Hope these points will help you save some bucks on your painting!

When you are on a shopping spree watch out before you shell out your dollars!
Shopping spree is a necessary malfunction of many of us to satisfy our thirst for fashion. It is quite difficult to resist a shopping pang! Especially when we set out to shop for New Year or Christmas, shopping mishaps are quire unavoidable. But how to keep your cool and make the right choice rests on you. Let us have a sneak peek into some of the important dos when on a shopping spree.
When you are buying shoes always opt for leather and other natural materials. Because natural materials 'breathe' they allow for air exchange and are healthier for your feet whereas plastic shoes does not do that.
Plan what you want to buy. It is always better to plan the color and type of dress or shoe that you want to buy. I am sure one particular design must have caught your eyes in the ‘n’ number of ads and movies that you have seen recently. Trust me you can save a lot of time when you pre plan what you want to shop for. Hanging around the store looking at other stuff like a handbag or a hoodie might tempt you to buy something you really do not need. So leave the store as soon as you get what you want! Sometimes it is better to shop for a daily dress or shoe requirement when you go on a festive shopping. This will also help you save some money! For example if your old pair of shoes is half worn out it’s not a mistake to give up on the beautiful dress that tickles your eye to buy what you really need.
When you set out to shop always plan your budget and draw a line! Don’t shop more than what you have planned for. Read the brochures or pamphlets before you go into the store to see if what you need is on sale. Comparing different pamphlets or flyers from different stores might help you get a better offer.
