#ThirdDegreeThursday has a question about weather. The past two days, we've had rain. I love hearing it against the roof and windows. I love the roll of thunder. And if lightning cracks, I pray it doesn't touch down on anything flammable and that people are safe. A few years ag...

This past Saturday, on Art & Soul Insider Creation Time, and this Wednesday coming up, I shared a very special medium. For my colour swatches on my page, I used the Arteza Metallic 24 pan set, Now this is a special medium, but it isn't the material I am referencing to. Say you don't have a metallic ...

They are with us during our highs and comfort us during our lows...in fact, they encourage us (kick our butts) whe...

Due to its liquid substance, it will react differently with your brushes as it will have a 'flow'. It will operate more like wat...
