You seem to be into a lot of different forms of arts & crafts, and I was wondering where you would begin to learn about such hobbies. What places would you recommend to get resources from? Resources such as paints, fabrics, brushes etcetera or whatever you mainly use. I'm not sure what it's called, but that hawks panel you painted on glass or something similar—what paints would you typically use for that and where did you learn to start? I would try to find the post myself but mobile is funky.

honestly i youtube absolutely everything and most of the hobby arts and crafts ive gotten into ive learned solely through youtube. i think instagram and pinterest also have their place for inspo and little extra bits of info u wouldnt normally think of as for supplies, it really depends on what ur buying and what ur doing. but i honestly get most things from my local walmart, amazon, and craft stores. i think for most basic supplies those are good places to start, if ur wanting to get into something way more specialized tho i think places like etsy and indipendant shops are gonna be more useful tho for the glass paintings, i learned how to do them and what materials id need from youtube vids and some tiktoks, then i got the glass from the dollar store by just buying their really cheap picture frames and not using the frame. u need 2 types of paint for glass paintings, an oil based paint for the outline, i used sharpie oil based paint markers in the extra fine tip. i got mine at my local staples but lots of places like walmart and amazon sell them and then acrylic paints for the colors. u need this because otherwise the outline layer will get dissolved when u go to do the next layers. like dissolves like, so u want to use oil so it wont move once u apply the acrylic because acrylic is water based. for the paints i got those at walmart, its a good idea to use cheaper quality paint for glass paintings cause u need to use a lot of it and put it on in thick layers. those like 97 cent paints are honestly perfect for this. it's much more like frosting a cookie than painting a picture. as for brushes i got those at my local micheals because i wanted specific shapes and some ultra fine ones, so for specialty things like that i usually hit up a craft store
