March 21, 2016 No Comments
Use online tutorials to help you learn to draw.

I have consistently been lamenting my inability to draw even the most basic things, but I’m always seeing simple (or simple looking, anyway) drawing tutorials on Pinterest and elsewhere.

Cut Paper to Put Over a Painting {Craft Challenge, Day 73}

March 13, 2016 No Comments
