Blue and orange, red and black, purple and blue.

5. What's on the top of you bucket list?

Either Spiderman Far From Home or Booksmart. Both were pretty sick.

To get to the other side.

13. Book you're currently reading?

Actually been reading a German book I got from my exchange family last Christmas but it's hella long and probably gonna take me forever to read.

14. Your favourite season and three things you like about it?

Winter: because a) you can drink tea without sweating everywhere, b) you can wear warm clothes and not want to die, and c) soup season

15. You're about to get into a fight, what song comes on as your soundtrack?

I Love It by Icona Pop. I rediscovered it's epicness recently and it's honestly the best song ever.

An apartment or Wacom tablet. Probably both. And then a ticket overseas.

17. (+1) What fictional world would you want to live in?

The year 2015 in Back to the Future. That seemed pretty cool.

18. (+1). If you had to learn a completely new language, what would it be?

Ok I have a lot of trouble speaking a foreign language and not feeling super judged so if I had the ability to do that fine, that would be nice. But a new language I would like to learn would probably be Swedish cos I think it sounds super cool.

19. (+1) If you were a cartoon character stuck in the same outfit forever what would it be?

Probably a cropped hoodie and some cargo pants and converse. Comfy, useful but also stylish?

20. (+1) What is your favourite thing about your hometown?

Honestly I don't love it here that much but I do like the area where I live next to the mountain and the bush that's pretty cool. Also the cultural centre and Westend. Lots of cool stuff in there.

Drawing on glass doesn’t sound fun, does it? So cold, so slippery! Making art or any creating, even birth, is something that for me, happens in cozy, gritty, homey, warm, tactile places, not shiny sterile bright ones. So I was NOT excited about the iPad. My iPad mini was something g I bought unsure if it was something. I would use. But little by little I played with it. First, I ditched the cold, hard stylus and grounded myself by drawing with my finger. Feeling what I was doing made all the difference (OF COURSE— feeling is what we want!!). PLUS it doesn’t matter that your finger is big, because you can ZOOM in when’re you want to make finer details. SECOND, I realized that there were apps with gritty, grainy pencils and brilliant, wet watercolors, chalky pastels, chunky streaky chisel-tipped markers, and tinted and textured papers, so much to explore! THIRDLY IPad drawing is a private space you can set up while cuddled up in bed or armchair, to explore privately, With no elaborate setup or mess No need to organize your massive set of art supplies No clean up No “what if my cat walks across the paint while it’s drying” And the amazing ability to TRY NEW TOOLS TRY NEW COLORS TRY NEW EFFECTS Aaaaaaaaand anything you try and don’t like, you can “undo” and try something else u til you get an effect you like better. I love how a SAFE SPACE like that encourages me to make bigger risks and bolder moves that surprise and delight me. A sense of exploration, DISCOVERY and ADVENTURE AAS well as BEAUTY and MAGIC make life so gorgeous. That’s why I created my ABOUT FACES digital drawing course for tablets/ iPads. You can learn more about it, drop me an emoji and I’ll share the course info link w you. Enrollment is open thru MAY 15 and early bird pricing expires next Monday. 🦋🦋🦋 https://www.instagram.com/lauravolpintesta/p/BwjwZfkgYnf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hqqb4fqto1h5
