However. This year I decided to roll with it on my creative site here, so that I could find motivation and inspiration to actually post more frequently. With the death of Belghast and the turmoil surrounding the event this year, I&#8217;m feeling some mixed emotions about it all. That being said, I am still going to post, and I&#8217;m still excited. It&#8217;s just.. quieter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway. Above is my second ATC (artist trading card) done in watercolour on cotton paper. Right now the &#8216;collection&#8217; (can it even be called that) is only 4 pieces, but I&#8217;m hoping to grow that over time. I love doing watercolour paintings even though at this point I do not think I am any good at it. Still, if you WANT to get good at that sort of thing, you need to practice. So practice I shall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working smaller always feels better to me, a larger blank piece of paper somehow seems intimidating. Plus these little cards are just so cute! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I normally participate in the Blaugust event where you attempt to post on a blog for all 30 days of August on my main site.
