Join me as I wrap up the year with a calm art vlog: Sketching with oil pastels, painting with watercolors, exploring mixed media for this very slow 100 Heads Challenge, and working on a variety of paintings in progress as I try not to get overwhelmed by the approach of 2025...
If your holiday season is stressful, I hope this cozy winter artvlog can bring you some comfort and a moment to just relax and draw with me. 💙

✧ ART MATERIALS ✧
My journal: https://amzn.to/3P7Yhrr *
My oldest, full pans of watercolors that I still use after over a decade: Winsor & Newton, but professional grade, NOT Cotman. These are so highly pigmented that I still haven't used up the full pans after all these years. While the set from 18 (!) years ago doesn't seem to be sold anymore, this one with half pans comes very close, as the only colors I don't own from it are the white and Winsor Yellow: https://amzn.to/3DsuZkM *
I especially love W&N French Ultramarine and Permanent Sap Green.
