I think there's something even more than requiring equipment. Making art requires waste. You cannot be minimalist in creating, you have to be free with paper, paint and ink. The style can be minimalist, but over time you will end up with a library of sketchbooks and have probably burned through tons of supplies.
- Broken_Hippo 7y agoI do have all of that stuff myself. I figured that was covered by 'having supplies one uses'. It is hard to use up all the paint one makes: Watercolor and gouache lend themselves to not wasting paint, though, as you can reuse dried paint. I suppose folks can give away their pictures, but I'd quickly run out of folks to give away to - hence my corner of finished art :)
- lmm 7y agoThat's actually fine though. You don't regard consumable supplies as possessions any more than you count the food you're about to eat as a possession. Minimalism is very compatible with waste - indeed I'd say it's probably more wasteful than not.
