Another gouache class, another painting! This week we painted from b&w reference photos and did color studies to identify the color palette we wanted to use

I’m taking a 4 week #gouache class this month! I am trying to see the shapes of light instead of letting my brain name things and default to icons. Day 1 done!

Reading is political.
Reading has always been political.
Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Not the most aesthetic photos but I finally painted the trim around my bathroom door and I removed this bead of caulk and re-caulked it 😌 #justhomeownerthings

My goal this year is to take one art class a month! I took an online watercolor class through Case For Making Friends where we painted this chair—it was fun taking it from a piece I thought was fine, to something I thought I ruined, to something I actually liked.

When fancy restaurants charge you like $5 for tea when all they're really doing is putting a tea bag in some hot water, I call that a steep price

Where do people learn in the open these days? I'm learning more about art and trying to take an art class every month this year. Trying to figure out where feels right to share that. A blog? Here? Tumblr? A secret fourth thing? Basically want a collection of what I've learned in small bites...

It’s been such a joke about “holding space for defying gravity” but I saw Wicked today with my family and not only did my mom, sister, and I hold hands while crying but then we did a family group hug when it was over. We genuinely held space I guess 😂
