Hello! I’m a Canadian artist and designer specializing in coloured pencil and mixed media. When I’m not creating art, I love helping other artists by sharing tips and tricks that have helped me. You can find me on all of my social channels @barbsotiart or check out my past Q&A articles for COLORED PENCIL Magazine or my co-hosting appearances on the Sharpened Artist Colored Pencil Podcast.

Stickers are a great cost effective way to add an extra touch to your brand presence! It’s time to vote again! 😃 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.

Hey everyone! If you haven’t gotten a chance to see it yet, I’m the guest workshop instructor in this month’s issue of @coloredpencilmagazine
