Join me in this journey connecting nature and art. Life is your canvas, and your canvas reflects your life. I am a lover of all things in nature (ok, I admit I am not a fan of all bugs, yet I know they have their place in the balance) and will use this platform to share some explorations, as well as knowledge I have gleaned along my way. As well, I believe we walk our paths in order to learn, not only lessons put to us, but things that we want to dive into to broaden our horizons, such as the study and practice of art. As a teacher of art, I do not follow a traditional model of thinking that there are "rules" in creating art. That, to me, is as incorrect as telling children to color only between the lines and to use a certain pre-chosen color. I believe we as a society need to follow laws just as there is a place for knowing how to stay within the lines, but beyond that, art is meant for self-expression, and there should be no single route.
COOL Granulating Watercolors!
Try out the Gansai Tambi Granulating Colors on Paul Rubens sparkling paper with me!!
I made this video a few weeks ago when I purchased the Schmincke granulating sets. However, I have not had my computer to upload this video after editing. This is the first video I have made with real-time audio. So, this is my unedited authentic self for better or worse.
I will be doing a painting with these and the super granulating watercolors when I get my art studio set back up. So, stay-tuned!
As always, thank you for being here liking, subscribing, commenting, and of course watching. :)

Swatching Super Granulating Watercolors Tiny Haul
มุมมอง 915หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I am swatching some new Schmincke Super Granulating watercolors, plus a couple of pretty new Daniel Smith colors I bought as well. I have loved working with watercolors that granulate in the past, and I am so excited to get back into using them in some paintings coming soon. After a couple years of only using Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints, which I love, it is a wonderful fun feelin...
Letting Go in Art and Watercolor
มุมมอง 1342 หลายเดือนก่อน
Lately I have been wanting to loosen my grip on control in my art. I have not gone to art school, though I would have loved to. Art was frowned upon in my family as not being a real subject in college. So, I got a degree in Psychology/Zoology and did research with, and trained dolphins for a living - THAT SHOWED THEM! haha. I never stopped doing crafts, and have come back to watercolor painting...

Art Assistant Extraordinaire: Working on Art with a Kitten in the House
มุมมอง 322 หลายเดือนก่อน
We have a kitten who runs the house. Not because she is a bully, but because we let her on a count of her being too cute and sweet for words. Sometimes I have to cut a few things out of my videos...like these. Just a fun little video to show the usual cuts... Thank you for watching and comment below if you have a helper while you are doing arts and crafts! :)
A Cautionary Tale When Ordering UV DTF for Either Heat Transfer or Scraper Transfer
มุมมอง 452 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello again, and welcome to Part 3 of this UV DTF Gang Sheet Transfers ordeal. In this video I will wrap it all up and give advice on being very careful when ordering these from a manufacturer. I have gleaned even more information after making this video... A good rule of thumb, although not always 100%, is that DTF transfers are made for fabrics, and UV DTF are made for hard surfaces...but not...
Trying UV DTF on a Ceramic Mug...No Dice
มุมมอง 252 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a follow-up try to use my UV DTF transfer sheets ordered from a large manufacturer. Unfortunately, putting them onto another type of substrate has not panned out either. As these were very expensive, I will be asking the manufacturer for a full refund. I have not heard back yet from their emailing process. If I don't hear back by tomorrow, I will give them a call. I will update anyone h...
UV DTF Transfer Gang-Sheet MESS
มุมมอง 432 หลายเดือนก่อน
Well, fortunately for me this is a rare complete failure of an attempted craft project. However, it is an expensive failure that I am quite bummed about. I spent a lot of time designing a gang sheet to send to a UV DTF manufacturer, and what I got back, is in my opinion, a joke. That said, I could be doing something wrong, although I have scoured the internet looking for a solution, and am comi...
Making a Fall and Thanksgiving Garland Accessory
มุมมอง 1882 หลายเดือนก่อน
I hope you enjoy this little tutorial on making a 'fall garland accessory' I am going to call it. It is a fun autumn craft to add to your holiday decor. This does not come with step-by-step instructions as I believe you can gather the basics from this video, and half the fun of creating is figuring things out yourself and making yours unique to you! This is a long process, do not expect to sit ...
