Welcome to another mishmash video from my little art studio! There is a bunch going on again today, so all the timestamps will be below! I'm going to be playing with watercolors, testing a watercolor sketchbook, filling my fountain pens with waterproof ink, making some ink wash brush pens, and doing a LOT of sketching! I am also wondering if anyone has started thinking about October art challenges yet! So get yourself something cozy to drink, and come on in, and let's chat for a bit!
