Finding Comfort In Our Art When Life Gets Hard- Art Studio Vlog- Swatching and Painting

Welcome to another mishmash video from my little art studio! Today I am putting together a transportable recovery art kit, swatching a bunch of art supplies, doing a couple pieces in my sketchbook for Art-tober, and talking about how we can use our art for comfort when life gets hard. So get yourself something cozy to drink, and come on in, and let's chat for a bit!
