No article this week.
It was another livestreamapalooza week and I’m all teached out.
Lest you think I’m being lazy, I’m probably livestreaming right now as you’re reading this.
I’ll be back next week with a bunch of trolls.

EGGS-ELLENT COLOR
“Speckled Eggs” was the March project in The Underpainters.
Now you can purchase the Workshop version. All the same downloads and video materials minus the monthly membership and forum system.
And yes, this is the Forever Access version.
PRODUCT OF THE WEEK:
Slant Board
Normally, I link to an inexpensive tool here but this week’s product is $$$$$$$$$$.
I’ve received a bunch of inquiries about my slanted coloring surface. I figure if 10 people email, another 20 either didn’t want to bother me or haven’t had time yet.
I have the 20x26 version but if you color cards, you can go smaller.
The slanted surface keeps me sitting back in my chair and not hunched over my project.
Mild marker staining but only where I didn’t clean with rubbing alcohol immediately after finishing for the day.
Remember, when you shop using my link above, any Amazon purchase over the next 24 hours supports the free content here and at YouTube.
