It's also especially insulting considering the theme of the opening ceremony that was celebrating the arts in Italy... 😒

Like talk about a slap in the face.

I definitely need to look into getting one that has a good, low setting since I obviously don't want to blast the paint around, lol
The one I have currently is still pretty high blast even on low and it also doesn't have a cool setting.

This is also why M. Graham gouache is my favorite to use because you can use it wet like watercolor better than Winsor & Newton and Holbein. At least in my experience, maybe I still don't know how to use those two correctly.

There's Unsplash. Although I think I've seen some AI images there and I haven't checked if they actually allow that or not.

I know you do a lot of armored characters and the Met has a nice gallery of historical armor.
