Hello all! I hope this week went beautifully for everyone. I’m back to remind you about Hahnemühle’s newest watercolor paper, The Collection. I’ve loved working on it, I think it may now be my favorite paper. My fave used to be Cézanne (also Hahnemühle-surprise, they do make spectacular paper) but this paper usurps that title….
Happy Halloween! (Boo!)
Hiya all. Happy Halloween! Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I apologize for that, I’ve been dealing with IBS for the last 2-3 months. It seems to finally be abating and I’m so glad. I’ve eaten chicken & rice soup and gluten free toast day in and day out for, it seems, EVER….
Playing With Paint (Hahnemühle: The Collection)
Hi everybody. How are you all surviving the pandemic? I’ve been sheltering in place since March. Seriously. I haven’t been out of the house for six months. THIS is the way to go stir crazy.

This book is the sixth in Alice’s Artangleology Series. It is a collection of over 450 tangle patterns! What an amazing reference book for…
How’s The Acrylic Painting Going Jenn??
Acrylic paint. Abstracts. Right now it’s a love-hate relationship. Learning a new thing is hard. You have to put the sweat and tears in and hope for the best. Good thing though, with this course, we’re not expected to make pretty art. Not even passable as art at all, at least in the first six…
