Here I review the art supplies I have gathered so far this year, test them out, create art with them, and give my ultimate impression. I got my art supplies from two different places, Amazon, and the others I got while on vacation in Marseille, France from the cutest art store, Rougier & Plé Marseille.

Part of my January goals included intentionally drawing for myself, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and painting subjects I don’t typically paint. So to start my year off strong, I made a list of 15 drawing prompts. The only expectations I made for myself for this month of painting prompts was:

1) Paint 1 prompt roughly every 2 days
2) Stick mainly to watercolor
3) Keep things simple
4) Make sure you enjoy yourself

Skillshare is a subscription-based online learning community for creators, filled with thousands of classes and categories. I was of course initially attracted to Skillshare for the painting and art classes, but I soon found I could learn so much more on the platform, from how to start my own business, how to use the Adobe suite products, or improve my productivity. Here I have listed 5 of my favorite watercolor classes that I have taken on Skillshare over the past few years that I feel really have improved my skills, given me tons of new tools, and expanded my mind and art.

I feel like no art blog is complete without at least one post on favorite painting supplies, so this is mine!

In this post, I plan to go over some of my favorite supplies that I use for painting that aren’t necessarily your typical, everyday watercolor supplies. These are things I don’t necessarily use every day in my painting practice, but I use these supplies regularly enough to make them near and dear to my heart.
