Hello Fellow Artist! 🌻 I hope you're having a great start to your summer and getting some painting/drawing or any art time in! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on my blog, I found a new platform that I love and think you will too! Substack is a platform that enables independent writers and creators to publish newsletters, podcasts, and video content directly to their subscribers.
