I almost titled this video ‘Ugly Dogs’ because I struggled so much with watercoloring them! I did 3 attempts at painting Pumba the Dog from a course I purchased on Enterclass (enterclass.com) because I just couldn’t get it right and also because I wanted to practice this very wet watercolor style that instructor Denis Petrulenkov does so beautifully.

Rose Lynn Draws reached out to me on Instagram and asked if I wanted to do this fun collaboration with her. In this video, we both paint the same thing, from the same reference photo - just in our own way!

 I’m painting the same painting on two different watercolor papers to explore the difference between hot press paper and rough paper.

In this post I share my first impressions of Holbein Artists’ Watercolor by swatching all the colors in the 18 color set. (This post is sponsored by MisterArt.com.)

In this post, I'm sharing my #1 tip for painting watercolor color mixing charts. The tip is: Use masking tape to create your grid! I used to draw the grid by hand and carefully paint the squares.

In today’s post, I’m sharing the 24 colors I have in my 24-well watercolor palette. Color selection is a personal choice and it all comes down to what colors you personally enjoying painting with. I believe as my own painting experience evolves, so will the color selection in my palettes.

Today, I want to offer a little perspective on the question “What if I’m just not creative?” in hopes that it will begin to shift your mindset about this limiting belief.  Because once you do, you’ll be able to start pursuing your creative interests. And I bet that after you start creating without self-judgement, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get started sooner.

Here are a few reasons why I wanted to start this podcast with my good friend, Jisun Park of Everleaf Designs. If you want to give our podcast a listen, it’s called Pockets of Time.
