Last Friday, I hosted something I’ve never done before: a live Zoom coffee date with TPK Premium members!
I have a challenge for you: the next time you’re tempted to send a quick text to say “thank you” or “just thinking of you,” try something different—send a postcard instead.
Today’s article is a little different—it’s more like a video workshop! I recommend bookmarking it so you can go through each section at your own pace and really get the hang of using the triangular brush.
You’ve probably seen “gum arabic” listed as an ingredient in everything from watercolor paints to calligraphy inks—and even in some foods. But if you’ve never used it on its own, it might feel like one of those mystery ingredients that exist in the background.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned watercolorist, having a custom color chart is invaluable. Fortunately, making a neat and functional chart doesn’t have to involve tedious measuring—there’s a much easier way to do it!
