Just Vlogging Around: Meeting And Learning About Our New Cannon M100 Camera During A Walk And Talk

Thanks to our neighbourhood finally being updated with fibre optics wifi, it will no longer take two hours to upload a ten minute video. That definitely kept me from posting videos like I wanted to. So excited! For instance, This half our video took about 30 minutes compared to hours!! To inspire me even more, watch and have fun with us as I learn and explore our brand new Cannon M100, I will be able to create more videos and Vlogs and Tutorials along with just plain stuff!

To add to my new and improved ability to make more videos, tutorials and vlogs, we just received our new Cannon M100 camera. 
Today it was gorgeous outside so I got to go on a walk and talk, whilst I try out different camera/video settings!

For today's second day of exploring our camera and our neighbourhood take a Watch Below!!

Something New: Fountain Pens, The Beginning - Learn With Me


Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Been dabbling in a new, yet old art supply. Years ago I was blessed with taking calligraphy class in my hometown with my dear Grandma. Calligraphy is basically a fancy way of writing. This new experience is different for me because Idiscovered from watching a fun YouTube channel "Peter Draws." Where he teaches about and uses these new kind of fountain pens. When I used the Schaeffer kind for calligraphy, you had to replace the ink cartridges, which seemed annoying and not easy to get. As well the pen tips for calligraphy that I used had a bit of a wide flat tip. As well, I tried dip pens and India ink with a variety of speedball exchangeable tips. However, I found dip pens too messy. They always blobbed black ink and you had to keep dipping. Which is what fountain pen/quill pens started out as. In fact, you can still get tat kind. I tried drawing with the fine tip and it was always too scratchy as well.

But now....I was impressed watching Peter draw and explain that you now can buy pens that have a piston type reservoir and something called a converter that allows you too....well, take a watch and see below!

Affordable Acrylic Paint Pens - Rock Test, Aroic, Tooli-Art, Flymax, Artistro, Ohuhu: Review Pt 1

Hi guys! How are you all doing during this most abnormal season? I am guessing for many of you, making more art or trying various art making techniques for the first time is something you have been

doing lately. Considering the world has been under siege by an unknown virus, unable to carry out life as usual- makes sense that we'd all be trying new things whilst locked down. Well acrylic paint pens have been a new tool in my art making supply stash. Are you like me, hooked on art supply collecting? It is even worse since shopping online with Amazon, is way to easy.

Might as well make the most of it and create. How will we know if we like a certain art supply if we don't try it. If you've been around here you will know that Acrylic paint pens are my new supply to try and use. Wanting to see online reviews of affordable paint pens has been difficult, so I decided to try an array of pens so I can create a bunch of video reviews on each brand so others may benefit from them. Posca pens seem to be the only paint pens used over and over on YouTube, Well click here to see my only (so far) Posca experience.

Below is part one of my first part of a generalized review video covering five brands of Acrylic paint pens. In this video I tried the four out on a rock since these pens all say they work on all surfaces like rock, glass, plastic, fabric, basically anything non-porous. I use them on paper and card stock more than anything. I love them.
