Hey there, Reader! I had an epiphany the other day!

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...

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. You see, while I was healing from burnout, I did a lot of inner work and self-reflection to aid my recovery. So over the past several months, I've made amazing progress with adopting healthier habits and improving my artist...

Hey there, Reader! When I took time away from making art and publishing content, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to redesign my workspace.

Here are some of the positive changes I made: I painted the walls (You'll see the new colour in upcoming YouTube videos!) I bought a cozy rug that feels super soft I rearranged...

Hey there, Reader! Today, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what I envision for the future of my content.

Hey there, Reader! In case no one has told you this recently, I want to remind you that: You are worthy of being an artist. You are enough. Your art is enough. You matter. Therefore, your art matters. Your art is valuable whether anyone sees it or not. You are exactly where you're meant to be on your artistic journey. Art is not a competition. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. Take your time. Art is not a race, and there is no finish line to cross. Practice makes progress....
