Welcome to another mishmash video from my little art studio! Today I've got a not so great update abut my knee, but I also have some new fun art therapy resources and we'll be doing two gouache illustrations, one of an elk and one is a fun little Halloween illustration! I think Gouache might be the most underrated art medium! I really love it! So get yourself something cozy to drink, and come on in, and let's chat for a bit!
