Bought 50 Paint Brushes for a Hobby I Tried Once

So, you know how sometimes you just decide on a whim to try something new? Yeah, well that happened. I saw some stunning paintings online and thought, 'Hey, I can do that too! It's just putting paint on a canvas, right?' So here I am with 50 brushes of every size and shape, ready to conquer the world of watercolors or oil paints (still haven't decided which). But after two failed attempts at even getting started, I'm starting to think maybe this wasn't the best idea. The only thing worse than not being able to paint is having a closet full of unused brushes mocking me every day. Maybe next time I'll start with something less messy like knitting or pottery? Who knows, maybe there's still hope for these poor, untested brushes out here.
