Hello art friends! 😊 New video is uploading & then checks will take another 20 or minutes.
I share a new organizational unit I got for my art supplies on my desk. βœ¨πŸ’œπŸ’«

At the moment, my focus is to make artwork, stay on a low buy, and try my best to organize my art materials. So when I found this unit functional at work, I had to try it in my art studio! πŸŒ€

Hi art friends! ✨😊✨New video is scheduled this Sunday at 9 AM, PST.
It’s an Artist Diary ✨- continuing to put in my brush miles.

After the posting of this video, I’m taking a little break from YouTube to prep for the new school year. I have to do some planning before school starts. And then when school starts, I’ll be tied up with getting the ball rolling with the new school year.
Thank you in advance for understanding! πŸ’–
