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….
Paper
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. But I also know with my compromised immune system (asthma, weight issues), it’s the only way to stay Covid free…
Painting Ball Jars On Harmony
I’m really Sorry that I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks. I fit painting ball jars on Harmony paper in between all my new exploration in paint. I’ve been busy starting a course on abstract painting! Yes, it’s totally fun. The course, called “Find Your Joy”, is with Louise Fletcher and lasts 10 weeks….
Expression Parrot Tulips
Hiya. Yep, I’ve been absent for a couple weeks. I have good reasons, promise! Let me explain myself before I get to the review of Expression Watercolor paper. So, I got all my testing done for my six month review after my cancer surgery and YAY I’m totally healthy, cancer free and doing great. So…

Hahnemühle Harmony Paper
I’ve been working on Harmony watercolor paper since before my cancer surgery so I thought it was high time I reviewed it. Ok, long story short, I LOVE this paper. Yes, it’s made of alpha-cellulose which means it’s part of Hahnemühle’s Akadamie line of student grade paper. But seriously, if “student” grade paper is this…
Hahnemühle Hand Lettering Paper & Zebra Brush Pens
I’ve been taking a free course that teaches me the basics of hand lettering. It’s called SHOW ME YOUR DRILLS and is taught by Becca of The Happy Ever Crafter. Did I mention it’s free?? Yep, a whole month of practicing the parts of letters, drills, to get you ready to learn actual lettering. That’s…
Meet The Warthogs!
Ohh, these were such fun to paint. I used my Schmincke palette to paint them. Yes, the warthogs were a little intricate to paint, layer upon layer, getting the shadows below the warts to show up. But they were ridiculously fun and who wouldn’t love to introduce a couple of warthogs?? How I painted those…
How I Paint Glass
This is my latest ball jar painting. I love painting glass. It’s ridiculously fun. I remember when I first started painting. I looked upon other people’s art where they’d captured the beauty and transparence of glass. HOW did they do that? It looked so complicated. Well, it is and it isn’t. Now that I have…

I was so excited to hear about this new offering by Hahnemühle, I’ve always been fascinated by accordion-fold, also called fan-folded books. I love…
