Cappuccino & A Green Thumb
This one was a lot of work but I sure learned about mixing greens to get a varied number of colors. As I’ve said before, colored pencil on toned paper is so much fun! This is a hyper-realistic piece done on Cappuccino toned tan paper but that doesn’t mean I copied the green leaves exactly….
Greybook & Zebra Colored Pencils Giveaway!
Thank you to Hahnemühle and Zebra Pens for generously contributing to this giveaway. YAY, it’s time for another chance to win some awesome art supplies. As I’ve mentioned, Hahnemühle’s Greybook is one of my favorite places to put down color. I love the game of figuring the best way to achieve a certain colors on…
Zebra Fountain Pens For Art
It’s inherent in being an artist that we get creative with lesser used tools. Yes, ink is used to make art but it’s a little more unusual to use a set of Zebra fountain pens in a myriad of bright colors to create something special. I got to get scribbly with these pens, allowing that…
Ginormous Giveaway!
GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. The winner is Sharon Gullikson, she has been contacted and claimed her prize! Congratulations Sharon. I subtly hinted yesterday (ok, I outright told you) that I’d be doing a GINORMOUS giveaway starting today. And just think, you survived the wait! It must have been stressful, all of like, 8 hours. So here…
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…

Updating My Palette
I had an epiphany the other day. For the last six months I’ve been staying loyal to ONE brand of watercolors. There were two valid reasons for that, ok, make that three: I LOVE Da Vinci watercolors. No other brand paints as well for me. In other words, these watercolors love me back. Da Vinci…
Artwork: Lettering Flowers
As you know, I’ve been taking a lettering course from Becca @The Happy Ever Crafter. Now that I feel comfortable with forming letters I thought it was time to try a cohesive piece. Obviously there’d be lettering. But what else to put with it? I’d been thinking about flowers for the past month or 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…
