Hey there, Reader! I know what it’s like to see the weeks and months pass by... and realize you’re still not where you want to be with watercolour. 😩 You feel stressed because you still haven't figured out how to layer watercolours without messing up 😤 You feel frustrated because you still can't figure out how to balance the paint-to-water ratio properly 😠And you still feel overwhelmed from all the disorganized information you find on Google and YouTube I get it, my friend. I relate to you...

Hey there, Reader! As a mixed media artist, I love playing around and experimenting with different mediums. But sometimes I need to take a break from one while I hone my skills in another.

So while I create new video content (new YouTube videos are in the works!), I've decided to share with you some fun watercolour tutorials to inspire you to paint something new...

Hey there, Reader! First of all, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who voted in last week's newsletter poll! I'm assessing the data and designing a new content calendar.

So stay tuned for more livestream details because they'll be coming soon! That being said, I have a confession to make. To be honest with you, the reason...

Hey there, Reader! I've been drawing on and off for roughly 9 years. As you can imagine, I've tried a fair share of drawing art supplies during that time. I don't like labels, but I could call myself an art supply minimalist. I don't own too many art supplies, but the ones I own work wonderfully for me.

Hey there, Reader! If you're a regular reader of this newsletter, you probably noticed that I didn't send a newsletter to your inbox for the past 2 weeks. The reason is that I got sick unexpectedly. Thankfully, I'm feeling a lot better now. That means I'm back to sending you weekly newsletters! As you can imagine, while I was sick I didn't feel motivated to draw, paint, or create art (or any new content) because I felt lousy and under the weather. So I asked myself, "What can I do to reignite...
