This is a video I recorded back in November 2021, but never edited and shared.  However I had a pocket of free time this weekend and so I finally crossed it off of my to-do list! 

I wanted to take the time to not only show you what I bought, but also to share WHY I bought it.  A big part of my teaching philosophy is that understanding "why" empowers you to create the art that you've always wanted to.  Instead of copying or relying on others, you gain the knowledge that allows you to pursue your artwork without the noise of other people in your head.  Enjoy!

I'd love to know what your creative shopping habits are like.  Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by!
