cozy art vlog 🎨 why I don’t do inktober, finding a new normal, and the art of content creation

We’re back with another cozy, chatty art vlog! In today’s video, we’re chatting about inktober (and why I don’t participate), creative rest, content creation versus art, and how I’m learning to market myself as an artist. I’ll be painting a spooky little gouache illustration, so grab some tea, grab your gouache, and paint with me!
