Throughout the course of art school I, like everyone else, struggled with finding a medium that excited … Continue reading Winsor and Newton Designers Gouache vs. Turner Acryl Japanesque Colour Gouache

We're about to move into our first house! First, a little bit of backstory. Max (my boyfriend) got himself a flat around the same time we got together, in December 2014. We met at art school, and at the time I was commuting two hours a day from my parents' house and back, so I … Continue reading Our moving story…
