Being an artist isn’t easy. In fact, depending on who you ask, being an artist requires a borderline case of masochism. They rarely find fame in their life, and many struggle just to make ends meet. But out of this rocky soil have grown some of the greatest expressions in the history of man. Artists are people with passion, and oftentimes that passion gets the better of them. Monet famously cut off his own ear and sent it to a woman over an argument. That kind of fire is what an artist injects into their art. That is what a viewer of art can feel moving them, even after the artists themselves are centuries removed from their audience.

That fire is at the heart of what it means to be an artist. Sadly however, an artist is nothing without a medium. The picture that paints is borderline absurdity, along the lines of a song without notes, or a nation without people. Scraping together change to get that tube of paint, or going without meals to purchase more clay, these are not alien concepts for an artist. It is not a happy reality, but it is a reality that many times an artist has to choose between things like food and their art supplies.

But what if I told you it didn’t need to be that way. Inspiration and passion are mercurial concepts that don’t lend themselves well to budgeting and calculated decision making. However, regardless of your inspiration, there are things you as an artist can do to make and keep to a budget. For instance, as a painter, you’ll need canvass, you’ll need brushes, and even if you don’t know the exact colors you’ll need, you know that you will indeed need paint. These things may cost quite a bit, but they don’t have to. If you search out wholesale art supplies for your chosen medium, odds are good that you will see significant savings.

Speaking to an artist’s wallet is something akin to blasphemy in the art world. Any good artist can tell you that it’s impossible to buy inspiration. But any human can tell you it’s hard to do your best work when you’re starving and don’t have a place to live. So if purchasing wholesale art supplies can keep food in your belly and a roof over your head; all the while allowing you to pursue your dreams, why wouldn’t you take that path?

Pride is one reason artists cite for avoiding cost cutting measures like wholesale art supplies. They say that they will only use the best, that their muse demands it of them. Well frankly, the muse could tell you to paint a picture in your own blood (and yes, this has already been done) but is it a good idea, a healthy idea to listen to it? Art is meant to show people things they hadn’t seen before, even if those things are just a new way of looking at something they see every day. It is supposed to move them, to in turn inspire them in their lives. None of those things require that you buy a six dollar tube of paint over a two dollar one. Inspiration cannot be bought, and while many people use this as a reason to avoid the consumer mindset that is prevalent in today’s social consciousness, few realize that this means that how much they pay to make their art will not affect its quality.
