Hey everyone! I know its been a minute so thanks for being patient! Been working on some larger projects :-) in the meantime here are some #colorcharts for them, working out two-color mixes for base skin tones. If you have any questions ask away! Ps. @danielsmithartistsmaterials ‘s Anthraqinone scarlet (PR168) is definitely one of my favorites to use in base mixes (second row from the bottom.) swipe to see the full strength undiluted mixes.

Is #watercolorwednesday a thing? Seriously though I have been slightly obsessed with getting back into watercolor painting. It feels like a total opposite from the digital world and I find its chaos completely alluring. Ive been creating color charts and mixing charts while compiling ideas for various pieces that i will be excited to share. So, what’s your favorite color?

As the year comes to close I know that myself and many in my circle have been really reflective. For many, myself included it has been a year of tremendous change, which is never a comfortable experience but almost always necessary. how was your year?

It always makes me happy to see a great band make it big. I remember the excitement of being in the audience @hwdforever 's Masonic Lodge when @glassanimals played their first LA gig and immediately won us over. since then I've seen them play at @thetroubadour , @thewiltern , @greek_theatre and @coachella (twice!) I am super proud of their success and can't wait to see what is in their future.
