Embrace the Whirlwind

Life can get pretty busy, can't it? It feels like we're constantly caught up in a whirlwind of tasks and responsibilities, always rushing from one thing to another. Sometimes, it's hard to even catch our breath and take a moment to pause.

Caring for Others

This #FridayFinds is already found. Being that it is Good Friday today, and many are gathering together with family and friends. Perhaps our greatest blessing is our family and friends.

Some people like the sight seeing way, while others like to get there faster. The question has to do with planes, trains and automobiles; so, out of them all, which is your choice? I personally like a car ride if it is 1-3 days away, but the plane is lovely because of the sky high views and how much...

We are busy.... there is always something to do. We race from one appointment to the next. It is go, go, go! We get tired and then exhausted. Have you ever thought of taking time during your day to decompress? To let loose the reins we hold tight that guide our lives? This is how we take care of our...

This made a HUGE difference in my realistic drawing skills. A common drawing skill that people use is focusing and drawing the object that is in front of them. They draw the exterior lines of the objects in their view. but what often happens is that things are out of proportions and the objects are ...

We were in the city yesterday and I bought a brand new pair of shoes.They are so comfy and are great. The brand name is called Portofino. But I'll share about them next #FridayFinds. Today, in the mail, from Amazon, I got this lip tint and pencil called Ink Velvet from South Korea. South Korea is we...

For today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques I am sharing with you a medium called gesso. Gesso can be a white, black or clear coloured. In fact, sometimes it can be a coloured substance. Another interesting aspect is often artists will combine a colour of paint with the white or clear gesso.
