In this unedited video, I start by sharing some colourful, textured swatches of my acrylic palettes, and share my artist why.
I chat about inspiration from watercolour artist, Carolyn Gavin, and show some of my pink and purple toned handmade watercolour paper from Canadian company called Papeterie Saint-Armand.
On this paper, I show swatches I had previously done with some mixed media supplies, including my Caran d' ache Luminance pencils and Stoneground Paper Co gouache, Dr.Ph Martin's bleedproof white, and the R&F drawing oils.
I pick a few cards from my Art Poetry artist card deck and share the inspiration or insights behind those.
