Can we talk about using a kids paint set for tiny details?

I got so tired of my fine brushes turning into mush after one use that I grabbed my nephew's $8 Crayola watercolor set last Tuesday. The tiny plastic brush was perfect for those stupid little window panes and it actually made my ugly house drawing look almost intentional. Problem is, the paint is super weak, so I had to layer it like 5 times. Anyone else ever raid a kids craft bin for tools that kind of work but not really?

Those little brushes are secretly the best thing ever for stuff like that. Try squeezing a drop of water straight into the paint pan and letting it sit a minute before you dip, makes the color way stronger so you don't need five coats. Also, if you have an old eyeshadow brush lying around, that works even better for the tiny spots.
