I agree. While there may be a stronger personal satisfaction from making your own canvas and pigments, there's still a satisfaction that comes from finishing an oil that was done on storebought canvas and Ross' oil kit. I think artists tend to be very hard on one another. I get a kick out of my brother and sister. She pokes at him for making "photo realistic oils, right down to the distortions in the photo" and he looks at her free life oils and just grunts. Then they both look at my CG stuff and laugh. Who cares! I enjoy it. Takes my mind off work when I get home. And if I feel like I've used too much of other people's stuff, well, there's always Photoshop and the mouse.
