Hello and welcome to my snowy Northwoods Art Studio! I am so lucky, because today I get to open a present from Holbein! They were kind enough to send me a set of their acrylic gouache AND a set of their Artists Gouache! Wel will unbox everything, do a paint swatching and mixing session, and paint two paints with them, a fun wintery Children's book type illustration and a super realistic painting of a bluejay in the snow! So get yourself something cozy to drink, and come on in, and let's chat for a bit!
