A Beginner’s Guide to Acrylics, Gouache, and Watercolours
We’re going back to basics today! I’m really excited about this post because I’d love to share the joy of painting with everyone. Did I sound super Bob Ross there? Booyah!

First Impressions: Mont Marte Metallic Acrylic Colour
Basically all of my recent paintings feature at least one metallic element. I’m in love with these little pops of brightness in my work and I was curious to see how colours other than gold, silver, and copper would look. But I didn’t want to buy a full-sized tube of each colour before I know…

My Glasses Broke & Other Life Snippets
