I think I have found my art style! I first learned the watercolour galaxy painting style from Let’s Make Art’s Galaxy Wolf project, and I really enjoyed that painting. It was one of the first watercolour paintings I have ever done. Though I have been trying to perfect my loose watercolour florals, the galaxy style …
I finally received Emma Lefebvre x Craftamo February subscription box today. 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 …

I tested it with both soft pastels and oil pastels, and here is my review. Using Soft Pastels on Pastelmat This is …
Floral Watercolour by Christin Stapff was the very first book I bought to learn how to do loose florals. Coming off my detailed realistic drawings, the look of loose watercolour flowers is very appealing to me. Believe it or not, loose isn’t easy and requires a lot of practice! So if you are interested in …
This is the year of Emma Lefebvre! Hot on the heels of her Craftamo subscription box launch, Emma Lefebvre released her very first book this month and here is my review. Table of Content Watercolour Lessons covered a good variety of techniques and subjects. As a matter of fact, this book is geared toward beginners. …
I am a sucker for dessert themed cards in general. It’s been a long while since I bought anything from Stampin’ Up but the Share A Milkshake bundle looks too yummy to pass up. I loved it so much I made 12 cards in one sitting! Here are my Share A Milkshake Cards. Designing Process …
This is a review of Emma Lefebvre x Craftamo subscription box 1 for January 2023. It finally arrived yesterday, and I had a chance to paint with the supplies in the box. The price for this box is CAD$70 + $13 shipping. Is it worth it? Let’s get to it! Packaging I am so heartbroken. …
