The painting group in the village I join also received from the Rembrandt factory years ago though and mainly soft pastel crayons no one likes except me.
The fear isn't unreasonable, unfortunately it's also the reason why many give up on creating and art isn't much in the picture as it should.
If you ask me whatever is handmade (manmade) will soon be the only thing what's left of human thoughts.
