What I’ve been reading:

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATERCOLOUR AND GOUACHE? – for those who might be wondering. I love & use both, but I mostly prefer gouache because the colors are richer. 

A nice Reddit thread – What is your favorite part about being an artist – I’ve been feeling rather dull & uninspired with art for most of the summer. I’m going through the motions, but nothing excites or interests me like it used to. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not buying new art supplies this year, so I’m bored with the same old or maybe the heat of summer is killing my creative? Reading this thread helped remind me of why I create art.

What I’ve been watching on Youtube:

Royalty Tiny Home Creators – 80 year old woman living in a tiny home. She’s going to start painting with watercolors for the first time, and I’m looking forward to seeing what she creates. 

How this African Parrot Ended Up in a Cactus in Arizona 

Let’s get to driving around Wichita Kansas vlog tour! – Nice little ride in my neck of the woods. James breaks down the north, south, east and west side of the metro. He also explores the suburbs surrounding Wichita, like Derby, Goddard, Andover, Bel Aire, Valley Center, and Maize. If you’re looking for housing in the area, give James a call. 

Thanks for stopping by.
