Behind the Art Studio Doors: Colored Pencils, Drawing Tools, and Art Resources | Ep. 1🎨
***Notes of clarification : Blackwing Matte is softer with darker lines, when I said firmer, I meant to say darker (not firm as in core, it’s softer). I also refer to my daughter as a multimedia artist in this video, but in reality, it's more complex than that. She's truly a mixed media artist, blending traditional drawing, painting, sculpting, digital art, and sewing. I had multimedia in my head as I was speaking because that's where I fall, incorporating various digital elements into my own work. While she does cross into multimedia, her primary focus is on creating diverse, multi-layered artworks using both traditional and digital mediums, as well as costume design through sewing.

▪️ About Me:

Hey friends, I’m Arlene—a book nerd and a recovering type-A planner, guiding my kiddos through high school and middle school homeschool, with a flexible Waldorf-inspired approach.

With a background in graphic design and as a RN (on hiatus), I balance a science-focused perspective with a passion for lively arts in our home. On this channel, we dive into various topics, with a special emphasis on mixed media art and creative projects. I’ll gently guide you through inspired lessons, using curricula as a flexible guide and weaving in our own ideas and inspirations.
Join us for immersive, relaxed videos with a cozy, tea-time charm, where we dive into meaningful conversations, share our creative journey, and savor a few laughs along the way.

Settle in with your lukewarm drink friends, and stay a while… 📚🫖
