I've stopped buying good brushes for my high school students to use. (I do keep

them straight up that if they want good brushes to use in their artwork (and
good brushes make better art), they must bring/buy their own. They are allowed
to keep them in their own locking box, and they take them home at the end of
the year if they last that long. This saves me a lot of money.....to buy more
acrylic paint for them to ruin thier own brushes in!!! I believe I've got that
