I tried priming my pressed leaves with two different types of gesso and comparing them to leaves I did not prime at all. Then I painted on all of them using acrylics. Click through to watch!

I Tried Wood Burning Art And It Was Harder Than I Thought
I'm trying out wood burning art for the first time using the Crelando woodburning iron set from Lidl. Turns out, it was harder than I thought, and I even managed to hurt myself in the process (but maybe not in the way you'd expect). Join me as I share my experience and learn from my mistakes.I tested a drawing tip on the wood burning pen to draw on wood panel and wood slices. What else can you draw on with a wood burning iron? Does it smell? Click through to watch!

I Tried Painting ON Leaves for the First Time
How to paint on a dried leaf. I painted on pressed leaves for the first time. I tried following the nature artist Katie Brooks' method of painting on leaves and documented the process, what I struggled with, the results of my leaf paintings and what I'd do differently next time. Her paintings are incredibly detailed and intricate for such a small scale, which I'm sure I can't accomplish, but let's try painting anyway! Click through to watch!

Relaxing LUPINE Plein Air Drawing Tutorial
Relaxing LUPINE Plein Air Drawing Tutorial. I sketched a lupine outdoors by a lake. This video is something between a speed drawing, a tutorial and an ASMR video, since the pencil drawing itself is sped up but I recorded birds singing and other sounds by the lake for background noise. So, it's a speed drawing with ambiance sounds, where I also talk you through the process of how to draw lupine flowers.
