Do I Really Need This… or Do I Just Want It? (An Artist’s Dilemma) PArt 1

Описание: This video started with a simple question I found myself asking — again:
Do I really need this… or do I just want it? Of course I want it!
Specifically I am looking at Neocolor I and NeoColor II, and NeoARt from Caran D'ache - do I NEED them all? How do my own art supplies fit in with them - are there gaps I need to fill, or I am suffering FOMO?! 😂

If I see someone else having fun with a new art supply, my curiosity lights up instantly. That’s human. I want people to have access to beautiful tools. I love abundance. I love choice.

But here’s the quieter truth I’m sitting with in this conversation:

Even with the most generous budgets, we don’t have endless space.
And sometimes, too much choice doesn’t feel freeing — it feels heavy.

In this live chat, I talk honestly about:
• the difference between wanting and needing
• how inspiration can tip into overwhelm
• when art supplies spark play — and when they trigger a creative freeze
• guilt, clutter, and the pressure to “use everything”
• noticing the early signs that I’m nearing my own saturation point

This isn’t about deprivation or rules.
It’s about listening — before excitement turns into paralysis.

If you’ve ever paused before buying one more thing and felt that flicker of hesitation… this conversation is for you.

Sometimes the most creative choice isn’t adding more —
it’s making space to actually use what we already love.
