Your sketchbook tour is so cool and I love your artwork and style ❤

[@charlottekluge7580]

I actually found this tour really inspiring. I love when you get a bit of insight in the process behind pieces, because that makes it so much less daunting for someone just starting out. It is really good to see how much thought goes into everything and that it does not just pop out on the page all finished and refined.

ohh i'm so glad you found this so helpful!!

[@sallytownsendart]

I saw your TikTok about Walter’s Fancy Feast tin! Love that for you both. This video just popped up on my home page and I’m so glad to see you here and see more of your art. One of my cats always has her paws on my brushes too haha.

[@BunNessa_Art]

I am the exact same! I wanted to do simple but cute paintings for calmtober last year...yeahhh, still working on the sketches and I can't seem to do simple paintings. They always end up with a ton of detail or I put more on my plate 🤣
