If you are tired of buying new stamps every season, fret not, because you can paint these yourself. 🙂 Materials Used for Easiest DIY Watercolour Cards By the way, I didn’t glue any of the sentiment strips on the paper.

Since my recent purchase of Sennelier extra soft pastels didn’t cover more yellow skin tones, I bought a pack of 5 Rembrandt soft pastels in Burnt Sienna to fill the gap. At CAD$11.99 (available at Deserres), Rembrandt is much cheaper than Sennelier. However, there are substantial differences between these two brands. For a review of …
It surprises me not too many people have mentioned Winsor & Newton watercolour paper.

Unfortunately, as you can see, my box is seriously damaged again like the first one. 🙁 As can be seen, the bubble wrap was very thin and I could feel the damage inside before opening the package. At CAD$84, this is disappointing to unbox. …
LMA (Let’s Make Art)’s March 2023 Digital Watercolor Subscription Box* landed in my mailbox on February 18th, and it is my favourite one so far! The theme–Wabi Sabi–is one that I need, and the colour scheme is also one of my favourites. Though the video tutorials will not be available until March 1, I was …
I purchased two loose sheets (14″x16″) of UART Premium Sanded Paper for review, both in 600 grit, from DeSerres. Each sheet retails for CAD$9.99, which is not expensive compared to Clairefontaine Pastelmat. I bought this paper primarily to test out whether oil pastels work better on sanded paper, but surprisingly, it worked very well for …
