12 Days Of Christmas | Day 1
Welcome to the first day of my 12 Days of Christmas video! I'm so glad you're here. These twelve videos will be much shorter than my regular uploads, but will hopefully inspire to take out those art supplies and start creating something relaxing and fun for yourself! They are intended to spark creativity and to show you that you don't need to work big to create something beautiful. Remember, I will be uploading one of these every day, until January 6th, to keep the holiday spirit going for a little while!
Stay creative wherever you are in the world and I'll see you tomorrow.
XO, B.

Hello friends, Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to say thank you all for a wonderful year, spending time with me here on UA-cam!

I will do a Year In Review video sometime in January, so stay tuned for that. Even though this is my last full length video for thi...

Hello friends, Happy Friday everyone! I'm starting to come out of my funk. I think, trying to force myself to find my style did a number on me. I really should listen more to all the good advice I give to you. I'm slowly learning :) First and foremost, we should always do what brings us joy, no matter what our inner critic (or the critics in real life) is/are trying to convince you of. I'm lear...

Hello friends, Happy weekend! Apologies for being late this week. It was an interesting one, as far as exploring art goes! You should see all the unfinished pieces on my desk.... I sure hope I get to use them somehow in the future, sigh. It was a bit more difficult this week trying to nail down a project that was worth pursuing, and so I also ended up creating 'mindless art' on the side, trying...

Hello and happy Friday fellow creative minds!! Art can be such an amazing vessel to explore, and I'm certainly feeling a pull once again. It's happened before, and so I'm not surprised by it. There is just too much out there to just be doing the same thing over and over again! That's not to say, I will abandon watercolor altogether, of course not. But I'm ready to find something new to challeng...

Hello and happy Friday fellow creative minds!! Can we just keep playing with Daniel Smith watercolors a bit more please? Yes, yes we can. If you may remember, I had bought some DS WC way back when, and today, I’m mixing them in with some of the Jean Haines set and created some pretty wonderful purple hues, which, if you know me, I love very much. And while I’m certainly not reinventing the wate...

    I love this piece and I think you are being too hard on yourself. This time of year it can be really hard to take on even “one more thing or one more decision”. I haven’t been watching much myself, as I am unable to paint, or draw, due to severe epicondylitis. So it’s hard to watch and not be able to get out my paint and play. But I always enjoy watching your videos and this piece is lovely!

    I started out making & sending monthly cards to all on my friends/family list & kept that up for a year. Then thought "I wanna expand my horizons, practice diff mediums to use on cards." what followed was an 18 month UA-cam tutorial rabbit hole, where I prepped, bought supplies & added over 3,000 "to watch later" posts but made nothing! I'm committed to using your upcoming "shorter & less involved 12 Days of Christmas" posts to get back into a "create" mode: "Create for yourself / Share with others" being my '25 mantra!! Whether I try to replicate or modify, I'm gonna Nike the snot outta what you share ["Just do it!"] ;-)

    at 13:00, "the last shape I added started to look a little wonky". Good description & that was my thot, too, tho I also thot, "I bet that's not acceptable to her cuz it doesn't seem to fit". And then I immediately thot, "it'll be interesting to see how she modifies it." ;-)

    Thanks for your consistent inspiration - as usual, just beautiful! A question for you: Your dishes off to the right show 4 purples, then a pink - but your supplies list only gives 3 purples before the opera pink. Could you tell me which purple is not listed, and which of the 4 dishes it's in (so I know what order it goes in of the 4 you applied? not that I'm going to try and exactly replicate your piece, but just to satisfy my curiosity!) :-) Thanks! And I look forward to your posts starting back up mid-January. Happiest of holidays to you and those you care about! And of course I look forward to your 12 days of Christmas shorter posts!
