Did you hear the news? Another quick little painting of a succulent. 😊 Happy long weekend! Quick little jellyfish acrylic gouache painting on this hot Wednesday afternoon. That feeling when you try a new type of paper for the first time and it actually turns out alright! 😄 Ok so fun fact: I don’t actually drink coffee, but I love painting coffee cups! 😄 I’ve been listening to a lot of audio books lately but this one was worth buying the hard copy for! @lisacongdon is not only an incredible artist and business woman but her podcast has quickly become one of my favourites as well.
