My View of the World Through Art
Join me on my art journey through a diverse range of styles and mediums: oil painting, watercolor journaling, gouache, and acrylic. Experiencing the world through painting in oils, watercolors, and acrylics is an enriching journey that transcends mere representation. Each medium offers a unique palette of possibilities, inviting exploration and experimentation. Oils allow for a depth of color and texture that can evoke profound emotion, while acrylics provide versatility and rapid drying times, perfect for capturing fleeting moments. Gouache is known for its vibrant colors and versatility, allowing me to express my vision with distinct clarity. Gouache is an opaque water-based paint that dries to a beautiful matte finish, making it ideal for capturing the richness of landscapes, the subtleties of portraits, and the emotions of abstract compositions. Watercolors, with their delicate transparency, enable a gentle blending of hues that can express both subtlety and dynamism. As artists engage with these materials, they not only translate their surroundings onto canvas but also delve into their innermost thoughts and feelings. This interplay of technique and introspection transforms everyday experiences into vibrant, tangible art, fostering a deeper connection with both the self and the world.These are all different mediums I use to express myself in my art. Come with me on my art exploration of the world around me. I want to share my art and extensive art supplies knowledge with you. Let’s enjoy the ride together.

Tips for Choosing Supplies
Start Small: As a beginner, it's wise to invest in a few essential supplies rather than a complete set. This allows you to explore different mediums without overwhelming yourself.
Quality Over Quantity: Investing in fewer, high-quality items will likely yield better results than a plethora of lower-quality options.
Test Before You Commit: Many art supply stores offer sample sizes. Testing products can help you determine what works best for your style.
Watercolor journaling is a captivating blend of creativity and reflection, allowing individuals to express emotions and document experiences in a visually striking manner. Using watercolors in a journal encourages spontaneity and freedom in artistic expression, as colors can flow and blend together on the page. Each brushstroke serves as a moment captured in time, transformed into a personal narrative. This practice not only enhances one's artistic skills but also fosters mindfulness and clarity, making it a rewarding pursuit for both beginners and seasoned artists alike.
