Which Acrylic Marker is Best? πŸ€”


Acrylic markers are suuuper popular right now, which makes total sense. They're such a fun combo of drawing and painting and can be super accessible.

I get asked A LOT what my favourite brand is. And to be honest, I've never actually compared them. Until now.

Karin. Ohuhu. Kasimir. Grabie. Arrtx. Let's test them!

(And honestly I'm curious, which brand of acrylic markers are YOUR favourite? Because I had a hard time, lol!)

Btw, my Patreon community gets early access to all videos, templates, and tons more! Come join us 😊

Oil Painting Course with Lily-Rose


If you've been around for a while, you know I binged Lily-Rose’s colour theory course like a Netflix show. I loved it so much I had her come teach it at Workshop Week this year, too!

And she just filled me in that she's now opened up a full oil painting course! 😍🎨

I got a sneak peek inside of it, and ooooomg. I've always felt like oil painting is SO intimidating, but Lily-Rose breaks it down SO. WELL. This thing is jam packed.

It’s called Perfecting the Practice of Oil Paint, and it covers things like choosing materials, prepping surfaces, handling paint, building texture, and finishing your pieces properly.

Anyway if oil painting interests you, enrollment is only open until October 8th. And she offered to give me a $100 off coupon for my insiders (you!). This link (and the button below) should automatically apply that discount for you 😊

Connections Course is on Sale!


This weekend, my Connections course is on sale for $29!​

This course includes the full workbook, video tutorials, and two amazing bonuses - the full Numbers & Symbols workbook AND a Connections Chart of every. single. letter. connection!

​The sale ends Sunday, October 4th at 11:59 PM ET.

What I've Been Up To This Week...


I taught myself how to make a quilted pouch bag this week! This one fits my Kindle 😍

Turns out making smaller little projects like this feels way more satisfying and less overwhelming than a big giant quilt, lol!

I have a feeling I'll be making a ton of these as Christmas gifts. So fun!


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOUR WEEKLY DAD JOKE!
