Hey there, Reader! In last week's newsletter, I shared with you aspects of the difficult creative journey I've been on for a while. Now in today's newsletter, I'd like to share with you a personal story that is very dear to my heart. It's about the real-life experience that inspired me to create my online art business. I've never shared this story publicly before. That means you have the special honour of being the first to hear this story in its entirety! Part 1: Creative Adventures Half a...

Hey there, Reader! The last newsletter I sent you was on June 27th, 2025. Then unexpected life events happened, so I stopped sending them for the past 4 months. Now that I have returned to writing these weekly newsletters, I'd like to share with you what happened while I was away. So grab a cup of tea, coffee, or your favourite beverage of choice, and get cozy. Imagine yourself sitting by a warm campfire as I share with you my story of transforming creative burnout into personal empowerment....

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...

These 3 watercolour tutorials are special because amazing artists like yourself have liked them and watched them the most out...

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. That being said, lately I've felt a longing to paint with watercolours again after taking a break from them these past few months. 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. For this reason, I don't yet know when the livestreams will begin because I still have to wrap up one more project before I embark on this new creative endeavour. 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. Some art supplies I've tried have been absolutely great! Whereas other supplies were... Well, to be honest, a total waste of money. And in today's economy, artists are becoming more...

Hey there, Reader! I have a special treat for you today: I published a brand new YouTube video for you to watch!

This video marks a BIG milestone in my content creation career because for the first time ever, I'm taking you on a visual tour of my sketchbooks to show you a lot (but not all) of the...

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...
