Freebie – Art Nouveau Colouring Page
I’ve been playing around with Art Nouveau designs. Turns out, my obsession with stained glass trained me for this moment. The techniques I learned from drawing stuff that would work as stained glass translate perfectly to Art Nouveau! So, last week, I reviewed my new Ohuhu Marker paper. This week, I wanted to offer the…

Quick Review – Ohuhu Kamakou Marker Paper
My transformation into an Ohuhu girlie wasn’t gradual. More like one moment, I tried one of their products, and the next, I belonged to them. On that note, this isn’t a sponsored post. All opinions and purchases are my own. I’ve been messing with my alcohol markers for long enough now that I figured it’s…

Review – Meeden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint
Backstory time. Last year, amid one of the busiest seasons of her life, some idiot thought it would be a great idea to make all the Christmas gifts. That idiot was me. The good news is, I succeeded. The better news is that it inspired me to get back into acrylic painting. Now, acrylics are…

Review -NicPro Pastel Paintbrush Set
My paintbrushes are ancient. Beloved and taken care of as if they’re prized pets, but freaking ancient. I’ve had most of them since high school, with just the odd new brush purchased here and there. And though some just keep getting better with age, others are… Well. Falling apart. Then there’s also the collection I…

Review – Ohuhu Acrylic Paint Markers
My love of Ohuhu products is no secret. And, just to get it out of the way, this isn’t a sponsored post, but hoo boy, would I jump for joy if Ohuhu ever decided to sponsor me! I thought the alcohol markers would be the pinnacle of my artistic joy (I’ve bought two more sets…

Everything You Need to Know about Gesso
It’s been a hot minute, but I’ve been playing with acrylic paints again. This, of course, means canvas, and that leads me to today’s post. I’m not usually one for following every art rule, so when the art gurus tell me that I must use canvas primers (or whatever other products), my rebellious streak makes…

Simple Yet Striking Notebook Glow-Up
Amid one of the craziest last quarters of the year ever, some genius had the bright idea to make all her holiday gifts. Why? Well. Because ADHD. I crocheted up a storm, painted hobbit doors on coasters, watercoloured hordes of bookmarks, and prettified notebooks. And, can you believe it, I even had the foresight to…

Let’s colour together! To show my appreciation for your ongoing support in my creative endeavours, I offer this free colouring page. This is just one of the original designs included in my Fly Free Stained Glass Colouring Book. I created each design in either Adobe Photoshop or, later, in Fresco (which is now my go-to…

Fantasy Creatures Colouring Book Review
I love colouring with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers so much that I picked up the Honolulu B set, too. So, of course, I needed a colouring book to go with my markers. I browsed a bunch of different options on Amazon, and ended up purchasing the Fantasy Creatures colouring book by Phoebe Beck, thinking I’d…

Review – Ohuhu Oahu Alcohol Markers
I’ve never worked with alcohol markers before, and I now know what I’ve been missing. All I can say is that this has become my instant favourite medium. Alcohol markers are so versatile. You can achieve anything from dreamy watercolour-like textures to graphic block shading without effort. But okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. This…
