When i started out in painting, i googled up the essential items to begin painting, when comes to colors there are only a few basic colors that you really need to mixed into all the other colors but as i ventured deeper into painting i also found there are several secondary colors which are always required, so my paint tubes collection starts to build up, it is not to say the secondary color cannot be achieved by mixing basic colors, it is just convenience not having to mix the secondary color every time it is required. I also unsubscribed my TV channels and if i need to watch something, i will find it in Youtube. But i still think there should be a balance between minimalism and practicality as we are also living in a ever more complex world
