Hello, World!
[Hello & Hello Again! Due to Reddit choosing to mess w/API, putting money over people & making accessibility for people with disabilities difficult if not impossible, I have wiped all the pictures from my Reddit account/subreddit. That was, apparently, the only place I kept the pics for this article. Apologies for the inconvenience. ~KW 30/6/23]
Who Am I?
Karin Wanderer. I paint flora & fauna & Miyamoto Usagi fanart.
What Do I Do?
I teach myself how to draw & paint on a shoestring budget. I also work with children, mainly preschool age. I have degrees in Early Childhood Education & Special Education. I read a lot.
What Media Do I Work In?
Watercolors, mostly, & an open source digital art program called Krita. Otherwise I like to work in ink (especially sumi) or markers or food or fabric. I’m always open to trying new art! The only exception is AI art, as all generators that I know of are “trained” by art taken without the artists’ consent.
What Is This?
This is where I will be sharing my progress. As a fairly new artist I’m interested in sharing all the things I learn. As a completely new blogger I’m interested in being able to share those things in long form. I will be talking about what I am actually learning- the books, tutorials, art supplies, etc. that I find useful, & how I feel about it all. I will, of course, also be sharing neat facts I learn along the way!
