#im realising now that the only paints they ever gave us in school were watercolours

realistically in a couple months i will look at this little acrylic mountain painting and be like wow this kinda sucks ass but i had fun and i was me and i felt connected to my best friend from my novel who is always painting little acrylic mountain scenes......tbh never liked paints as a child/teen cause art class never taught us how to actually fucking use them LOL so im also like wow i actually blended stuff in and it looks good

#im realising now that the only paints they ever gave us in school were watercolours #but they never like...explained that specifically or said how to use them specifically GIRL #my like natural approach to painting was v much not suited for watercolour LOL but acrylics r fun #bobby is just such an acrylic guy to me idk how to explain it. i think he would dabble in oil too #dont think he likes watercolour LOL. except maybe watercolour pencils #i think hed have fun with pastels too....he was not meant to be this arty it just happened #the generalised lore is that bobby is good at drawing and painting most things except portraits and faces LOL #i will let him have one good self portrait though for the thematics of it #buried in tags but bobby's emotional reason for enjoying art is because he's always felt #like he had a very internalised experience of the world and was like. In His Head compared to people around him #so art + hands on creation feels like a way to take things out of his head and bring them into the world #bc he always felt a bit like an outcast even in the spaces he was included in lol closeted queer childhood vibes #he does like 99% scenic stuff though. but wondering if he gets more abstract at the end of his life WAITTTTT
