Welcome to another mishmash video from my little art studio! Today I will be talking about using art to get through the bad times in life. How we can still find beauty, even when things are hard or downright bad or scary. I'll be sharing the bad news I got recently about my Crohn's disease, was well as a recent accident I had. and we will be doing some gentle art with both watercolors and mixed media to get through it. So get yourself something cozy to drink, and come on in, and let's chat for a bit!
