Mucking around with my markers again. Patting myse

Mucking around with my markers again. Patting myself on the back to celebrate my almost 10th pull-up. 😁 I procrastinate (I'm hoping like we all do, maybe more), so I try to make my procrastination as "productive" as possible to partially reduce the anxiety of always thinking I'm supposed to be doing something else no matter what l'm doing. Telling myself #nofocusnoproblem #brushlettering #karinmarkers #unmotivational #motivational

Posted @withregram • @vivien_arts Just wanted to upload my 2 minutes video on the tiny palette. Surprise: the IGTV option is gone!

Please find in the video all the information you need to set up the tiny palette.
Have a great weekend! 😊

Posted @withregram • @mother_of_catz Well this was fun to play with. 108 watercolor dot card of @holbeinartistmaterials made by @tinysupplies These colors are so gorgeous and the paint is so creamy. It’s gonna be hard to narrow them down. #watercolor #holbein #givemeallthecolor🌈

"I feel like a kid in a candy store 🌈🍬🎨…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to Karen @tinysupplies for all your help, you were a joy to converse with and really helpful. And thank you for the beautiful packaging, dot cards, swatchcards and note ❤️ go check out her page or Etsy store!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That kid-in-candystore feeling" was exactly what I was going for when I set up my Etsy shop. Thanks @lokilovesart for the shout out!

A little behind-the-scenes look at my paintmaking

A little behind-the-scenes look at my paintmaking experiments. Because I make such small batches, a tiny scale is an absolute necessity.

"Cerulean blue is a gentle breeze." I'm so excited

"Cerulean blue is a gentle breeze." I'm so excited that the wonderful @artistjaneb has done a swatching video of my Holbein 108 dotcard. One whole hour of wonderful swatchy goodness! Her videos are getting better and better — there are two cameras now. And I just lurve her voice. Be sure to check it out. You'll be glad you did, I promise.

Always a frustration whenever I tried to build what’s on my imagination and ending up doing something else 😅😜 I love the feel of the sand on my toes, it relaxes and calms my mood!😊. .

See how great Jane made my colourshift metallics look! This totally made my day. I’ve been wanting to show these off, but my photos and videos never seem to do them any justice! Posted @withregram • @artistjaneb Beautiful #multichrome #watercolors from @tinysupplies ! I swatched these on my last live stream and they’re so opaque and stunning that I had to share! #watercolorswatches #glitterwatercolor #metallicwatercolor #watercolorreels

7 May 2021: This bumper pack of dotcards went out

7 May 2021: This bumper pack of dotcards went out to my cousin @joichichan, who's currently experimenting with traditional watercolours. She's a really serious manga artist who's been drawing forever. Tracking data says that it's in Canada now and I hope she gets it soon.

Behind the scenes: Making something exciting for m

Behind the scenes: Making something exciting for myself today. A compact palette of 99 Holbein watercolors. Deciding on the colors to leave out was hell and squeezing them onto the swatch card took forever. But oh, what a lot of fun! I can't wait to use this.

23 April 2021: So, in the spirit of decluttering, I bade a heartbreaking farewell to my Corona No. 3 from 1917. It survived World War 1, and various stints as prop and shop decor. Now, it's gone to live with a nice gentleman who picked her up the day I listed it.
