It took me forever even to just clean out my desk drawers, so that is what will be featured in this video. Who knew I could fit so much in those small drawers.
This might actually be a longer series than I thought because so much needs to be done, and I would like to reorganize and maximize my space as best I can. I also would like to create a nice giveaway/to sell pile for art supplies I would probably not use enough to justify keeping. I hope you guys enjoy Part 1 and stay tuned for Part 2 as I get to more of the nitty gritty!

Swatching & Painting a Mountain LandscapeAlexis Cassandra Art2026-02-02 | I had the pleasure of trying out Woomer's Acrylic Brush Marker set, sent to me by Woomer to review!

○CONTACT (Business Inquiries Only): alexiscassandraart@gmail.comMy Only Art Haul of 2026! (I have way too many supplies)Alexis Cassandra Art2026-01-26 | One of the things I realized coming back to doing art again halfway through 2025 was that I was overwhelmed by my supplies to choose from. For one thing, they aren't organized (I will get to that soon!), for another, there are too many of them!
I am hoping to start of 2026 more slowly, and my goal is no more new art supplies this year, unless I really run out of something, which is doubtful. I think I am going to have to think outside the box making videos, but maybe that's a good thing!
However, there are still some supplies that got away! I'm going to talk about them in today's video and hopefully get to using some of them soon. I hope you guys enjoy my last haul video for a while!

○CONTACT (Business Inquiries Only): alexiscassandraart@gmail.comI Finished My Fall Watercolor Sketchbook Challenge (BUT LATE)!Alexis Cassandra Art2025-11-10 | Hello all! After many technical difficulties, I have finally got my fall art challenge video finished and posted. I know it's over a week into November at this point, but I am still excited to share with you guys the end result of the challenge.

Yes, I bought a separate sketchbook for my alcohol markers, mainly because I am worried about bleed through if I tried using them in another sketchbook. No, this is not the double-sided paper but someone kindly let me know that Ohuhu does offer a double-sided marker pad. That will be the next one I purchase, as soon as this one gets full!

Today's video showcases all of the artist paper pads and sketchbooks that I own, and thank goodness that I split this into two parts because it would have resulted in an hour-long video otherwise!
I know a lot of you here on my channel are interesting in art papers in particular, so hopefully this video will be of use to you. I know I have a lot of papers, but bear in mind I have collected them over many years. Is there anything in the giveaway pile that you guys would be interested in?

Since I have already tried the Strathmore Toned Tan and Toned Blue Mixed Media Papers, I already had a feel for this paper but just wanted to see how the tone would look against charcoal pencils.
The reference photo of the seagull used for the artwork is actually a reference I took myself on my recent beach trip to the central coast in California!

PISMO BEACH TRAVEL VLOG | Coastal Trip + Decorating Beach-Themed CoastersAlexis Cassandra Art2022-08-04 | I am really excited to share today's video with you guys because for once, we are not only at The Desk Corner! In fact, I take you guys along with me a bit on my travels! Thank goodness we got away from my desk for once. It gets kind of lonely there.
My trip was to Pismo Beach and the surrounding areas of SLO county in the central coast of California. Being from southern California (which is a good 4/5 hours away as it is such a long state), central coast has a different vibe and is a really fun spot to visit. I love the coastal views, marine life and seafood that this particular area of California offers. The main reason for my trip was to visit with my family, who I kept out of my vlog but I was obviously spending the majority of my time with them, hence why I didn't have time for artwork after all!
I am taking you guys along with me partly so that you can also see some of the spots where I took photos to be used later as reference photos for artwork in part 2 (next week's video)! Of course, I had to make this video somehow art-related and I was itching to do something artsy after my trip, so I decided to decorate some plain wooden drink coasters with my Artistro Acrylic Paint Markers! And I'm sure you can guess the theme! I hope you enjoy today's vlog!

So, follow along with me as we swatch out (messily lol) and then attempt to make a somewhat realistic artwork with actual crayons and let me know how you guys think I did!
