How I Became an Artist... (and so can YOU!)

[@RinskeDouna]

Welcome to my TED TALK😂 HUGE NEWS!!! Over the past year, my team and I have been hard at work and are excited to announce the launch of the Rinske Douna Art Supply Shop now at: RinskeDouna.com My new shop brings together the best, leading brands and premium art supplies for acrylics and abstract artists. We carry leading brands such as: Amsterdam, Golden, Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and more! Unlike what you might see at big box stores or Amazon, everything on RinskeDouna.com is handpicked by myself personally so you know it has great quality for value. Our pricing is competitive to what you’ll find in stores or online, and we are authorized retailers which means we work directly with the brands themselves to curate this offering. You can buy these products in other places but if you’re a fan of my videos, art style, or want to try using the same supplies that I do, purchasing through the shop at RinskeDouna.com will support my content and the community we’ve built. I’ve been working on this for almost a year now and so much energy went into finding the right brands, curating a collection of products I believe in, and making this possible. Just so you guys know, we’re starting in the US first but we’re working on international shipping as I speak. So everyone across the world, please stay tuned and know I’m grateful for any support and interest around this launch. I hope the tools on this store inspire and empower you to pursue your passions. Thank you all for helping make this a reality!

[@TriniRoyQuiReyes]

You are totally an inspiration . And just want to say thank you Rinske

[@deloreskelch1015]

Congratulations on your new adventure. I love watching your videos. Your technique is so smooth. I have been doing dutch pours for the past 3 years and really enjoy it. I have been an artists since childhood but doing abstract art has brought me much satisfaction.

[@sarahkardashian8995]

You're so welcome Rinske, I will always support you. You are part of the BEST trio in fluid art. Rinske, Olga, Molly. I can hardly wait for your Dutch Pour class, I am in desperate need of help. Cheers again to you🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨

[@markclark8493]

I have followed you for the past 2 years now and your artwork is inspirational and you are a pleasure to watch. I have often spent hours hunting for art supply's here in the UK both online and in art shops . Your online shop has everything that anyone might need and all in one place, I really hope it is a great success, selfishly, as I want to be able to buy from you here in England. Also the idea of your own brand of paints is amazing. I love trying different brands, as colors do vary quite a bit and its great to combine them. Fingers crossed that you can ship here in 2023!

[@holynyork7124]

Oh sweet Rinske. I am so very happy for your dreams coming true. Your dad is proud of you. I know your feelings. I was a potter in college. My dad would sit on the floor cross legged and touch each of my pieces,commenting on weight, glazes, encouraging me. He passed in 97. And like you, he didn’t see my work & 50 years later with my loving husband ( not the first one) created a studio for me in our garage. I’ll be 71 next month. Took many years to have this gift come back to me. So my dear, you inspire people, love people & that sure pleases this ol’ bat in the hat. Kindly, Holyn ❤❤🎉❤❤ Oh, I do love love love work. It is as amazing as you are.
