One thing we didn’t mention in this episode is that we love buying art supplies. If only money wasn’t an issue! We’ve clearly bought our fair share and I’ve split the recommendations into areas to hopefully make it easy to navigate. We weren’t sponsored for any of this content (although definitely hit us up if you’re interested ) and these are all products and places we actually use and love
As always, we’d love to hear from you, so please comment, email, dm us if you’ve got any questions, comments or thoughts on this episode!
also.. meant to warn you guys that we have adverts now on the pod (also an oops, we were just investigating and JB pressed a button and now it’s hard to undo.) we’re going to trial it for a couple of weeks and then assess, it’s part of our plan to keep the podcast free as simply as possible and create the least amount of work for ourselves so that we can focus on keeping this about the art and you guys! (more on this next week)

Show Notes:
This week on the pod Julie’s experiencing the ‘joys of teething’ and subsequent sleep deprivation, whilst working on so many large artworks that 1 meter actually feels small! Phoebe has learnt a new skill - wand making, is trying anything to make her recovery from covid speedier and is trying out sound healing (*woo woo alert) to recalibrate her request for abundance. Then we move on to discussing art supplies, the things we’ve bought that we no longer use and what we use now. Phoebe discusses the pros and cons of acrylic whilst Julie does the same for oil paint. Then the listener questions cover a range of topics that we try to troubleshoot and give advice about.
