I enjoy creating art, and because of this, I often end up with some waste after making my art. It makes sense that art creation produces waste, as you can&#8217;t use all the materials. Despite trying to minimize waste, there&#8217;s always some leftover. Since much of my journaling and collaging involve found materials, I tend to keep small scraps, even if I don&#8217;t have a specific purpose for them yet.<\/p>\n<p>Another type of art waste I generate is paint water. I didn&#8217;t know for a while that it shouldn&#8217;t be poured down the drain. Acrylic paint water, when left to dry in a bucket, allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind the dried acrylic or other medium used. I only made the connection with the name &#8220;acrylic&#8221; later on.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to watercolors, unless they are sparkly, I usually pour them down the drain, even though I know I shouldn&#8217;t. The reason is that there&#8217;s a cat in my house, and I don&#8217;t want him to drink it and get sick. While I use him as an excuse, I know that it&#8217;s not the best practice. I might be in trouble if this pollution were completely prohibited, but it could be a good motivator to set up a system where I&#8217;m not just pouring it down the drain and leaching harmful materials into our water.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/theartspirits.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/hqdefault_62dc1b7b-5d17-452f-b908-d2194fd469c6_1200x1200.jpg?v=1605305883\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like to collage.
