I don't use oils often, but I always have fun when I do. I just really hate the clean up process and the mess I tend to make with them, which is why I think I don't use them very often. I'm also not very patient with the drying time. 😬 This peace is called "Joy Has Dawned", and I while I painted it last year, it is finally dry, varnished, and framed, and I added it to our Christmas decor this year instead of it taking up space in my studio. 😂 Maybe I'll get around to another oil piece soon but probably not since I'd also like to revisit colored pencils, soft pastels, and oil pastels soon, too. 🙃

After a year and a half of living here, we *finally* got around to hanging a few things on the wall in this room. I want to add a lot more, but this is a good start! The peaceful vibes are making this my favorite room in the house, and I think the cat likes this space, too. 🙃

It's not a hymn, but I'll still consider this part of the Christmas series I'm working on. Now try and get this song out of your head. 🙃 I painted this one today, and instead of watercolor, I decided to use @winsorandnewton's gouache. Gouache is similar to watercolor, but it's opaque instead of transparant (which can be a very useful characteristic when painting), and it also has a beautiful matte appearance when dry that I looooove!! ❤❤❤

Drafting today for 2022 classes....I have to keep a few months ahead with these things and it always makes me confused about what time of year it is. 😂😬😜

Have you walked around any stores yet and looked at the Christmas decorations on display? Gnomes are super trendy right now! Maybe I'm just noticing them all because I wrote this project that features them, but they seem to be everywhere! This free written project through @winsorandnewton for @joann_stores can be downloaded here: https://www.joann.com/gnome-for-the-holidays-greeting-card/462233407P133.html. This project shows you how to create a greeting card, but it would make a super cute piece of wall art, too!

Gah, my student and I came *so close* today to finally finishing the inital layering of colors to each rock! 🙃 Next time, I guess, and then we'll work on really building up the details and depth!
