So Yeah....

Random thoughts for the usual times.

Orders from my shop help me pay rent. Orders from my shop help me buy groceries. Orders from my shop help me pay for gas. Orders from my shop help me pay for a gift for my fiance that I might not otherwise be able to afford. Orders from my shop help me pay for my future wedding. Orders from my shop help me pay for therapy. Orders from my shop helped me leave a toxic household.

Shop small, especially if you can afford it. I know sometimes corporations have cheaper options.. but that extra $5 is far more useful to a small business owner. If you can afford it, shop small any time you can.

A couple of days late, but this one is for St. Patty! 💚🍀 Proudly of northern Ireland decent, my father's side comes from Shannon. (Regardless of the fact that dear old Patrick was Scottish 🤣) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_wNFzsaHn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The funny thing about certain pigments, the smell! Phthalo green dark smells like apple candy while purple violet smells sweet. Emerald hue smells like formaldehyde and indigo genuine smells like cow 💩. Lol a lot of the earth tones like the Mars line smell like iron and mud which makes the most sense. It's so interesting how that smell goes away after mulling and you don't get left with a nasty smelling pan! . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3wscYLTXj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been conducting my own lightfast test. 6 months in and I've got some interesting results. I'll be scanning and comparing the two sheets and giving you guys an update soon! This will be continuing for at least a year with quarterly checks and a big update again after the year is up. . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CpmJpJDsJjB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It took me almost a week, but I printed new labels and swatches almost all of my matte colors. This way, wrapping pans will be a lot faster, since that part takes quite a bit of time for each pan. 🥰 so satisfying to see them all lined up. What's your favorite color? . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjPVTWL0Uc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spent some time making wax seals. Pre-making them makes putting orders together easier. 💖 . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpg558TseBm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just thinking how amazing it is to see the skilled people out there using a supply that I make with my own hands! Really, it's just mind blowing. So, thank you so everyone who has ever ordered from me and tagged me in your beautiful art! I'm so grateful to ever single one of you. . . . #kozpaints #Kourtneypaints #artsupplies #paletteideas #inspiration #watercolors #handmade #etsy #watercolor #aquarelle #watercolour #pigments #shopsmall #smallbusiness #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #art #handlettered #handmadewatercolor #lettering #letteringcommunity #handlettering #letteringdaily #watercolorillustration #moderncalligraphy #watercolorart #letteringart #handmadewatercolors #watercolorcalligraphy #dailylettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWZc7oriYh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
