Do you feel like you're bad at art? Good! That's a great place to start.
Hey Reader!
I remember picking up watercolors all those years ago and being... nervous.
The colors were so vibrant in my cheap palette, and the page was so white, so blank.
I felt sure that I was going to mess it up.
That's why I didn't really try for a very long time. I was so afraid of wasting my supplies with my awful scribblings that I avoided painting like the plague. I was terrified that I'd make bad art.
And do you know what happened when I finally DID try?
I made bad art.
Oh, the frustration!
I had such pretty images in my head. Why couldn't I create them on the paper???
Now, of course, I realize the vital lesson that those first bad paintings were teaching me.
In order to learn something new, you must first be bad at it.
It was ridiculous to hold myself to such high expectations when I knew nothing about watercolors. I wasn't being fair to myself to set the bar so high.
The truth is, making bad art isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's the best thing you can do for yourself when you're first starting out!
Once I finally accepted this truth and started painting more, I learned a little bit with each brushstroke, each page.
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, I gained skill and confidence in my abilities.
Now I think back and wonder how far along my skills might be if I had gotten out of my own way sooner and just started.
Perhaps you have been working with watercolors for a while and need a little push. Perhaps you've been dying to try but scared to take that first step.
Either way, I want to help.
Over the years, I've picked up a lot of handy skills through tons of trial and error, and I want to offer some of those tips to you so you don't have to struggle like I did.
And the best part?
It's completely free!
I want to make sure everyone has that little bit of guidance, no matter where they are in their journey. I've found that even the smallest bit of support and help can go a very long way.

Making art doesn't have to be hard, Reader. You don't always need to plan an elaborate piece, or have a theme -- or even what materials to use. Sometimes it's as easy as sitting down, picking up whatever pen you have lying around, and making a few messy marks. Just the other day, I was feeling overwhelmed and sat down in a huff at my desk in front of an open sketchbook. I grabbed the sharpie pen that was within reach and started squiggling all over the page without any thought or plan. I...
Hello Reader! I'm coming at you with something new -- a newsletter, to be exact! I've wanted to do a monthly newsletter for years, but I didn't really know where to begin. It wasn't until recently that I saw Peggy's newsletter (of The Pigeon Letters fame) that I was inspired to give it a try. So here we are! I want to use this monthly newsletter to connect with you on a more human-to-human level. You can expect this to be a place where I share all the nonsense that tickles my fancy as well as...
Reader, do you ever have it where you draw one beautiful, perfect eye, but the second one always ends up weird? Or do your characters always end up looking stiff and unnatural? I used to struggle with this all. the. time. My go-to drawing workflow always started with the eyes, then the rest of the face, then the body, one limb at a time. I thought this was THE way to draw people and faces, so I clung to it for years. Flipping through my old sketchbooks, I see it everywhere -- half-done faces...
