Admin Post: Community Check-In for February 2022

[goss]

Today's the last day of February, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in February, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Our Round-up of entries for Drawing Challenge #42: Draw Your Hand will be posted tomorrow, and a new monthly art challenge will go up later in the week. :)

Hi there! It's really great to hear from you. I love the peacock painting. :D

It's just a pain to clean up a space, then having to clean up afterward and put everything back every time.

Heh. I hear you. One of the main reasons I've stuck with watercolours is that it requires so little space and clean-up, compared to acrylics and other kind of paints I used in the past.

Thank you!!

And yeahh, I'm sticking to figuring out gouache for at least partially that reason too: it's ultimately less clutter and mess compared to other media. Like, I love oil painting, but that's just far too much to deal with in a small, shared apartment. Plus cat hazard.
