Hey there, Reader! I had an epiphany the other day! I realized that even though I took a break from art in order to heal from burnout, life obviously went on for the kind people (such as yourself) who're subscribed to my weekly newsletter. So while I rested and recharged my creative batteries for many months, a lot of you actively continued creating art. That means you likely made progress with your drawing and painting skills. No matter how big or how small, your meaningful progress deserves both recognition and celebration, Reader! That being said, this epiphany made me realize that I need to check in with you to understand where you are now on your art journey. Why? Because many people are introduced to my content as absolute beginners or beginners who have a little experience with painting and/or drawing. But are you still at that level, or have you made progress with your art skills? I would appreciate it if you answered the following question(s). Doing so will help me create content that is appropriate for your skill level! If you paint with watercolours, please answer the following question: If you draw and sketch, please answer the following question:

Hey there, Reader! I left you with a mysterious cliffhanger in last week's email. Allow me to reveal it to you now. Last week, I mentioned that when I returned to watercolour painting, I encountered a problem. The unexpected challenge I ran into is procrastination.
