Finding My Way Back To Joyful Art (Watercolor and Mixed Media)

Watercolor, mixed media, sketchbooks, and a week of thunderstorms all come together in today's studio vlog. Join me for an honest week in the studio as I work through a creative slump, share watercolor and mixed media sketching, talk about living with Crohn's disease and a recent prediabetes diagnosis, and try to reconnect with the joy of making art. Along the way I'll share a few beautiful watercolor books, take you on a quick tour of my gardens, and show the small creative moments that helped me find my spark again. ✨ Get my FREE 15-page guide to my favorite art supplies + creative prompts here: https://www.winterwoodsstudio.com/sub... ✨ Join The Wild Brush Circle on Patreon:   / winterwoodsstudio   Whether you're feeling creatively stuck yourself or simply enjoy spending time in the studio, I hope this video encourages you to slow down, stay curious, and remember that creativity often returns in quiet and unexpected ways. 🎨 ART SUPPLIES USED TODAY Daniel Smith Watercolors: https://tidd.ly/4p76YSH Faber-Castell Sketching Pencil Set: https://tidd.ly/4ogoGmd Feela Sketchbooks: https://amzn.to/41ixM8F ZMYBC Sketchbooks: https://amzn.to/4smN3Bb Labkiss 24 Pack Sketchbooks: https://amzn.to/3PlAdol Landscape Conte Crayon Set: https://tidd.ly/4e8W24p Caran d'Ache Gouache Pan Set: https://tidd.ly/3RADQbb Blick Studio Canvas Panels: https://tidd.ly/3LIwbV9 Golden Open Acrylic Paints: https://tidd.ly/4wfv4iA Royal Talens Art Creations Sketchbook: https://tidd.ly/3JZyhPL Stillman & Birn Zeta Sketchbook: https://tidd.ly/4se3JLs Caran d'Ache Luminance Colored Pencils: https://tidd.ly/3JVtb7i Caran d'Ache Pablo Colored Pencils: https://tidd.ly/4uXZPrN Blackwing Pencils: https://tidd.ly/3WXEXBg Caran d'Ache Supracolor Watercolor Pencils: https://tidd.ly/4nn4tL6 📚 BOOKS SHOWN TODAY Down by the Sea by Claudia Nice: https://amzn.to/445oTRj Creating Textured Landscapes with Pen, Ink, and Watercolor by Claudia Nice: https://amzn.to/4v9Ifkn Watercolor Landscapes Step by Step: https://amzn.to/49VR9cu Painting in Watercolor: An Indispensable Guide: https://amzn.to/3QbdOLj 🌲 STAY CONNECTED WITH ME Instagram:   / winterwoodsstudio   Shop & Website: https://www.winterwoodsstudio.com Join The Wild Brush Circle on Patreon:   / winterwoodsstudio   Free Art Supply Guide & Newsletter: https://www.winterwoodsstudio.com/sub...
